Default I need help extracting some data from a cell

I should also mention that unless the data is VARCHAR2 there is no ( to key
off of. If the value is number, date, etc... then nothing comes after it.

I have a cell that contains data that needs to be broken up among a few
different cells. The source cell contains data like:

COMPANYADDRESS2 VARCHAR2(35)

I need to put 35 in one cell and then VARCHAR in another. So I need a
worksheet function that finds the number between ( and ) and then I need
another function that figures out the characters between ( and the first
space to the left of the V in varchar2. Varchar2 is just an example of what
the data could be. Other examples could be number, date, etc...
