Here's a version that does what (I think) you want:
----------
string stripPar(string S)
{
while(S[0] == '(' && S[S.length-1] == ')')
{
S = S[1 .. $ - 1];
}
return S;
}
----------
So, what this does is just changes the view of S, not the data
of S. A subtle but important distinction.
First thank you soooo much for clarification of the operation.
however, i tried your solution too. this failed with the same
errors as mentioned in the first post of the thread..
