Here is a puzzle!

A text field contains this info:

TEXT



Split = 25% of $8715.27 Value Before Uplift

I want to put parenthesis around the words:

Value Before Uplift

I can easily get the one on the end by taking the field and doing:

set text = text || ')'

HOW DO I get the right parenthesis to be before the word Value?

Ulitimately I want:

Split = 25% of $8715.27 (Value Before Uplift)

I'd love to have this in a simple update statement:

update sometable
set text = ?????????? solution ???????

Any ideas?
