Split only the first match of a sentence

See more:

Javascript

Hi,

rules = "(The(code(project)))";

var parent = rules.split("(");

The split function splits all the words separated by "(" an open brace and stores all the words in an array,..
array = [The,code,project)))]
it stores in the above fashion.

I need the Split function to split only the first word i.e "The" into 1 word and "code(project)))" into other word..
Is it possible in Javascript?

Please let me know..
Thanks in advance

Regards,
Swathi
