Javascript complex REGEX

Question

I have some definition that come in a similar appearance: "(adj.) currently holding office (eg the ..... president had been defeated) " I need to split them in this way:

var fullDefinition= " (adj.) currently holding office"
 var definition="currently holding office"
 var word = "....."
 var example = " the " + word + "president had been 
 defeated"

The elements in common for every definition, which I can use as anchors, are the two brackets " ( )" but not the content inside the dots " ..... " the string " (eg " with the last bracket " )" I am newbie, I think I need to use regular expression here, but I don't know how
