But jdfjh... is not within parens...
and what about quoted parens "("? Do they count?
You probably need a tokenizer for the SQL dialect used in your "text" file.
But first: can you give a non-technical description of what problem you are
trying to solve instead of how you want to solve it?
Perhaps someone here knows of a better approach than counting parens.
