How about this:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    const int kMaxSentenceLength = 50;        // maximum length of input

    char sentence[kMaxSentenceLength];        // sentence inputed
    int count;                                // loop variable

    // get input from the user
    /******** whatever prompt you want here ********/
    gets(sentence);

    // initialize count
    count = 0;

    // abstract string up to the first parentheses
    while(sentence[count] != '(')
    {
        cout<<sentence[count];
        count++;
    }

    // ignore whatever's in parentheses
    while(sentence[count] != ')')
        count++;

    // get past second parentheses and following space
    count += 2;

    // abstract the rest of the sentence
    while(sentence[count] != '\0')
    {
        cout<<sentence[count];
        count++;
    }

    // give a carriage return to end sentence
    cout<<endl;

    return 0;
}
