Custom modifier for RSS feed

I am pulling a yahoo news feed through FeedX. The feed basically returns this:

Hello world (author)

I was figuring that all I need to do is separate everything out with a PHX modifier. I’ve gotten it to work (mostly) but I am unsure how to strip the parenthesis from the result.

I figured the best approach would be to explode the $output into an array and then try to go from there.

My modifier looks like this...
```
<?php
$input = $output;
$item = explode("(", $input);

$content = $item[0];
$author = "<span class=\"source\">".$item[1]."</span>";

echo $content.$author; 
?>
```
I’m still working on getting my PHP up to speed so any help would be greatly appreciated -- Thanks!

I figured it out. The jury is still out on the logic, however.

Heres my final result:

<?php
$input = $output;
$item = explode("(", $input);

$title = $item[0];
$source = trim($item[1],")");

echo $title."<span class=\"source\">".$source."</span>";
?>
