I need help trying to get regex to work with double brackets
currently i have this for the regex
(\\[.*?\\])
that allows me to get everything inside a bracket,
HOWEVER my string has double brackets
[DATA1[OTHERDATA]RUBBISH]
the output I get is
[DATA1[OTHERDATA]
is the a way of getting the full bracket including the bracket inside?
分享 Keeping things nice and simple. A greedy match should do the trick:
/\[(.+)\]/
the .+ will match any character, but it'll stop at the last ], so the match will be "DATA1[OTHERDATA]RUBBISH"
Breakdown is really simple:
\[: Matches literal [
(.+): Match (and capture) all characters - including opening and closing brackets\]: Match literal ]
Regardless of how many nested brackets you have the results are the same:
[data[foo][bar][eve[n]]more]
//match:
data[foo][bar][eve[n]]more
