Find all numbers within square brackets using REGEX

Question

I searched some posts but can't find the right solution for my problem.

I want all numbers that are within [].

I tested the following regex on regex101:

\\[.\*([0-9]++).*\\] .....    /gU <- Flags

Test string:

Test bla bla [us_image_slider ids="6207,6204,6203,6199,6484,6470" nav="thumbs" img_size="us_img_size_2"] some numbers 232323 [img="344"] and [daas 23344 2333]2323 ( hello 233 )

My Regex finds only the first number and not the others within the square brackets :(

Result has to be : match0 = 6207 match1 = 6204 ...

Hope you can help me, thanks.

Could you please format your question so it's more readable? — rowana, Jul 05 '17 at 14:50
It doesn't match other digits since you are matching everything `.*` after first match. You are after something like a positive lookahead [**`\d+(?=[^][]*\])`**](https://regex101.com/r/9LVhB9/1/) — revo, Jul 05 '17 at 14:53
Example above you have open bracket what it is happening if you have [ bla bla 123,456, bla [abg,789] bla it should return 123,456, 789 or just 789 ? — Ezequiel De Simone, Jul 05 '17 at 15:00

You are looking for something like a positive lookahead:

\d+(?=[^][]*\])
