Simple regex question. I have a string on the following format:
this is a [sample] string with [some] special words. [another one]
What is the regular expression to extract the words within the square brackets, ie.
sample
some
another one
Note: In my use case, brackets cannot be nested.
You can use the following regex globally:
\[(.*?)\]
Explanation:
\[ : [ is a meta char and needs to be escaped if you want to match it literally.(.*?) : match everything in a non-greedy way and capture it.\] : ] is a meta char and needs to be escaped if you want to match it literally.Collected from the Internet
