Currently I search the string for a '(' and then back up one.

If-then-else?
If string length>15, truncate at 15
@LEFT(+B60,@FIND("(",+B60,0))&@REPEAT(" ",15-@LENGTH(@LEFT(+B60,@FIND("(",+B60,0))))
that takes the name out of the string and pads short names with spaces to make all short names 15 characters long. B60 is the original string.
Clear as mud ?
