[Mono-list] Can this linq be optimised?

[Stifu]

A single Substring() (to isolate the part between brackets), then a Trim()?
Or if the word between the brackets is not supposed to contain ANY space,
maybe use the Trim overload that expects a char array parameter.

Like this (except in your LINQ query):
string word = "(  hello    )";
char[] trimChars = new char[] {'(', ' ', ')'};
string result = word.Trim(trimChars);

PS: if it works and is fast enough, then maybe it's good enough. It may look
(and actually be) inefficient, but if it doesn't affect users, don't bother
unless you've got time to kill. You might also be interested in double
checking Regex performances, but I'd expect it to be slower.
