MATLAB: Import text as table with multiple delimiter as one

Question

In want to import text from a logfile into a table with two columns. The delimiter should be '()'

    Example:
    T4 10:14:9 Class.Function() Patches were moved by 45.2206nm (max), 12.1091nm (mean)

Using the import-wizard and specifying the Column delimiters as custom and () everything works fine.

After some while i found a code-solution that works close to that what i want to have:

    table = readtable(FilePath, 'Delimiter', '()' ,'MultipleDelimsAsOne',1);

But the problem is, that this delimits the text with the multiple delimiter AND the single delimiters as well, causing problems on the above example at (max) and (mean).

Are there some more sideconditions for readtable to prevent this? Thanks

I found out a solution on my own:

You have to specify the delimiter as a cell-array:

    Delim = {'()'};
    table = readtable(SourcePath, 'Delimiter', Delim ,'MultipleDelimsAsOne',1);
