You can split it into parts:

String abc="mumbai (or) pune"
String result = "pune";

String[] parts = abc.split(" ");
String partOne = parts[0];
String partTwo = parts[2];

if (partOne == result){
   System.out.println(partOne);
}
else{
   System.out.println(partTwo);
}

There are many ways to do the simple thing which you are looking for. Best approach: Read of String Operations in Java

Following are just some ways to achieve what you need:

 public static void main(String[] args)
{
    String output1 = "mumbai (or) pune";
    String output2 = output1.split("or\\) ")[1];
    String output3 = output1.substring(output1.indexOf(")")+2);;        

    System.out.println(output1);
    System.out.println(output2);
    System.out.println(output3);        
}

It doesn't work because ) is special in regex. Escape the regex with \\.

Use string.split("\\)")[1].trim(); instead.

If your input string is always similar to the one you showed:

yourString.split("\\)")[1].trim();

A replace would be actually more efficient here.

Use :

 String abc="mumbai (or) pune";
 abc = abc.replaceAll(".*\\s+(\\w+)","$1");
 // abc will be "pune" here

Try this:

String s = "mumbai (or) pune";
String result = s.substring(s.lastIndexOf(')') + 1).trim();
