  var parser = new __.lib.StringParser({
    '(': function(char, idx, fullString, event) {
      build.push('');
    },
    ')': function() {
      console.log(build); // we are done print it out
    },
    ' ': function() {
      // ignore space characters
    },
    '!': function(c, i, s, event) {
      event.skip = 5; // skip the next 5 characters in the string.
    },
    'and': function(phrase, idx, fullString, event) {
      build.push('[{0}]'.format(phrase));
      build.push('');
    }
  }, {
    defaultAction: function(char, idx, fullString, event) {
      build[build.length - 1] += char;
    }
  });

  parser.parse(target);
