Even easier: use find_matching_delimiter

find_matching_delimiter

 SYNOPSIS
  Look for the delimiter that matches "ch"

 USAGE
  Integer find_matching_delimiter (Integer ch)

 DESCRIPTION
  This function scans either forward or backward looking for the
  delimiter that matches the character specified by `ch'.  The actual
  direction depends upon the syntax of the character `ch'.  The
  matching delimiter pair must be declared as such by a prior call to
  `define_syntax'.  This function returns one of the following values:

         1    Match found
         0    Match not found
        -1    A match was attempted from within a string.
        -2    A match was attempted from within a comment
         2    No information

  In addition, the current point is left either at the match or is left
  at the place where the routine either detected a mismatch or gave up.
  In the case of a comment or a string (return values of -2 or -1), the
  current point is left at the beginning of a comment.
  Note: If the of `ch' is zero, the character at the current point will be
  used.

 SEE ALSO
  blink_match, create_syntax_table, define_syntax, parse_to_point
