Regular expression to get text between square brackets including disparity?

Question

I need to find a regular expression for use in C# (JavaScript as well), for get the text inside the either square brackets combination.

I try several ways, but I give up

Answer 1

If you prefer to use a regular expression, the following will work.

\[([^[\]]+)\]

See Live Demo

Consider replacing those characters instead of trying to match between them.

String input  = @"[[[text]]]]]]]]]]]]]";
String output = Regex.Replace(input, @"[[\]]", "");
Console.WriteLine(output); //=> "text"
