Regex to grab strings between square brackets

Question

I have the following string: pass[1][2011-08-21][total_passes]

How would I extract the items between the square brackets into an array? I tried

Answer 1

var s = 'pass[1][2011-08-21][total_passes]';

r = s.match(/\[([^\]]*)\]/g);

r ; //# =>  [ '[1]', '[2011-08-21]', '[total_passes]' ]

example proving the edge case of unbalanced [];

var s = 'pass[1]]][2011-08-21][total_passes]';

r = s.match(/\[([^\]]*)\]/g);

r; //# =>  [ '[1]', '[2011-08-21]', '[total_passes]' ]
