How to split a field into two different fields using eval in Splunk?

I have a field as follows in the logs 

user="userAbc1 (host1234)"

As you can see both the username and hostname fields are together in the user field. Now how do I apply regex and separate both the fields into 2 corresponding fields as follows 

user=userAbc1

host=host1234

Hi @pavanae.

please try this:

| rex field=user "^(?<user>.*)\s+\((?<host>[^\)]*)\)"

Ciao.

Try this rex command.

| rex field=foo "(?<user>\S+)\s\((?<host>=[^\(]+)"
