Parse strings between delimiters into an array

Question

I have a string input something like this:

[hellothere1241 fellow omg what][how many tiasf sgasgag][gas adgh adh sdgsd gsd][ gsdgsdgsdg sd sdgsdgsgsd ga21451t ][t13g1gsd s]

I need to get all the strings between each [ and ] to an array like that:

hellothere1241 fellow omg what
how many tiasf sgasgag
gas adgh adh sdgsd gsd
gsdgsdgsdg sd sdgsdgsgsd ga21451t
t13g1gsd s

Can anyone give me an example? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You can use the regex mentioned in this answer. The VB.NET equivalent would be

Dim pattern = "\[(.*?)\]"
Dim query = "[hellothere1241 fellow omg what][how many tiasf sgasgag][gas adgh adh sdgsd gsd][ gsdgsdgsdg sd sdgsdgsgsd ga21451t ][t13g1gsd s]"
Dim matches = Regex.Matches(query, pattern)
