Getting values separated by comma inside square brackets using Regex in Java [closed]

Answer 1

First strip out the [ and ] from the string using replaceAll(). Then split using \s*,\s* which means comma can have optional space before or after it.

String []splits = text.replaceAll("^\\s*\\[|\\]\\s*$", "").split("\\s*,\\s*");

Now convert the String array into List using Arrays.asList().
