Grouping Regex question

[gill.jp]

I am trying to get all the names i.e: SMITH J , BALTIMORE D, JONES AL

String input = "NAME=(SMITH J) NAME=(BALTIMORE D) NAME=(JONES AL)
JUNK=(ABC);
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(" ");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(input);

for (int i=0; i<=matcher.groupCount(); i++) {
String groupStr = matcher.group(i);
System.out.println("groupStr: "+ groupStr);
}

I played around with few patterns, I am unable to get all of the
names.
Anyone knows what this regex might be?

Thanks, J

Something like this should get you started:

Matcher matcher = Pattern.compile("NAME=\\((.*?)\\)").matcher(input);
while(matcher.find()) {
System.out.println(matcher.group(1));
}

Hope that helps,
Carl.
