I don't think using re is such a bad idea. You could just go through replacing the nested parenthesis one at a time with the result of their operation. Seems pretty straight forward to me.
As Chris's, uh, variegated comments indicated, you can't have an (true) regular expression that will parse nested parentheses. (According to him, there are some sort of hacks and extensions that would broaden the expression-language to let it parse context-free grammars. This is the first I've heard of that, but it sounds like a bad idea to me.).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
