Hi.

That regular expression isn't even close.
Check out the tutorial here to see how to use regular expressions.

This could be done by simply using the explode function.
Firstly, you would want to split the string using the "-" char.
Then, split the second part of that with the "/" char.
And finally, trim the ( and ) from the middle part.
