Hi.
I tired your script on the string:
aa(ss)(xx)(yy)
it only returned the parens bracketing "ss"

On second thought :
function offsetPair a,b,str -- str cannot be more than one line
-- returns first instance of char a && "matching" instance of char b in str,
or 0 if no a or empty if no match
put offset(a,str) into ca
if ca = 0 then return 0
put numToChar(7) into char 1 to ca of str
set lineDelimiter to a
set itemDelimiter to b
repeat with i = 1 to the number of items in str
if i = the number of lines in item 1 to i of str then return ca &&
ca+length(item 1 to i of str)
end repeat
return empty
end offsetPair
