two questions about character manipulation

Dear all,

I want to manipulate a character string such as 

ex<-"cbind(data$response1,data$response2)"

in R in two ways:

1) extracting the "response1" portion of ex 
2) replacing "$" with "."

I am wondering that is it possible efficiently doing these in R?

Best

Ozgur
