Get the value between the parentheses, multiple matches in one string - vba

Question

My spreadsheet has a column with value like this string:
some text (text1) some test (text2) (text1)
How do I get all values between parentheses? The result I am looking for is:
text1, text2
Even if text1, text2... testn is present in the cell multiple times, I need it in the result only once.
I found a function GetParen here: Get the value between the brackets
It is helpful, but it gives the fist available value in the parentheses and ignores the rest.

It seems unwieldy to have one User Defined Function for individual entries and another for a collective result of all entries.
Paste the following into a standard module code sheet.
Function getBracketedText(str As String, _
Optional pos As Integer = 0, _
Optional delim As String = ", ", _
Optional dupes As Boolean = False)
Dim tmp As String, txt As String, a As Long, b As Long, p As Long, arr() As Variant
tmp = str
ReDim arr(1 To 1)
For b = 1 To (Len(tmp) - Len(Replace(tmp, Chr(40), vbNullString)))
p = InStr(p + 1, tmp, Chr(40))
txt = Trim(Mid(tmp, p + 1, InStr(p + 1, tmp, Chr(41)) - (p + 1)))
If UBound(Filter(arr, txt, True)) < 0 Or dupes Then '<~~ check for duplicates within the array
a = a + 1
ReDim Preserve arr(1 To a)
arr(UBound(arr)) = txt
End If
Next b
If CBool(pos) Then
getBracketedText = arr(pos)
Else
getBracketedText = Join(arr, delim)
End If
End Function
Use like any other native worksheet function. There are optional parameters to retrieve an individual element or a collection as well as changing the default <comma><space> delimiter.

This code works for me:
Sub takingTheText()
Dim iniP 'first parenthesis
Dim endP 'last parentehis
Dim myText 'the text
Dim txtLen
Dim i
Dim tmp
Dim j
myText = Range("A1").Value
txtLen = Len(myText)
j = 0
Do 'Loop in the text
i = i + 1 'a counter
iniP = InStr(1, myText, "(", 1) 'found the first occurence of the (
endP = InStr(1, myText, ")", 1) 'same as above
tmp = tmp & Right(Left(myText, i), 1) 'take the text garbage text
If i = iniP Then 'here comes the work
j = j + 1 'here take the cell index
myText = Replace(myText, tmp, "") 'remove the garbage text in front the first (
tmp = Left(myText, endP - iniP - 1) 'reuse the var to store the usefull text
Cells(1, 2).Value = Cells(1, 2).Value & Chr(10) & tmp 'store in the cell B1
'If you want to stored in separated cells use the below code
'Cells(j, 2).Value = tmp
myText = Replace(myText, tmp & ")", "", 1, 1) ' remove the garbage text from the main text
tmp = Empty 'empty the var
i = 0 'reset the main counter
End If
Loop While endP <> 0
End Sub
Result:
Please check and tellme if is ok.
Edit#1
Cells(1, 2).Value = Cells(1, 2).Value & Chr(10) & tmp this code store the text in separated lines inside the same cell, may be you want to use spaces between the resulting text because of chr(10) (also you can use chr(13)), then you can use Cells(1, 2).Value = Cells(1, 2).Value & " " & tmp, or use any other character instead the string inside the & symbols
