So I'm currently stuck with regex to get values properly. Let say we have an string like [VA03] SOME_ERROR_CODE

What I wish to get VA03 and SOME_ERROR_CODE in separate way using regex.

Currently I managed to get [VA03] (with parenthesis) via: [/\[.*?\]/] regex.

So my questions would be:

• How to get VA03 without array parentheses?
• How to get second pard of string which comes after space, e.g: SOME_ERROR_CODE

CodePudding user response：

If you want either the part between the square brackets, or non whitespace chars without square brackets:

\[\K[^]\[]*(?=])|[^]\[\s] 

Explanation

• \[ Match [
• \K Forget what is matched so far
• [^]\[]* Optionally match any char except [ ]
• (?=]) Assert ] directly to the right
• | Or
• [^]\[\s] Match 1 chars other than [ ] or a whitespace char

If both values are in order, then you can use 2 capture groups:

\[([^]\[]*)]\s (\S )

Explanation

• \[ Match [
• ([^]\[]*) Capture group 1, match any char except [ ]
• ] Match ]
• \s Match 1 whitespace chars
• (\S ) Capture group 2, match 1 non whitespace chars
