Here is a section in my .ini file

[section]
section[host] = "localhost"
section[username] = "user"
section[password] = "password.123"
section[db] = "dbname"

I want the values of section[host]. I know I am supposed to use regex for this. But not able to make it run.

`sed -nE 's/section\[host\] *= *"([^"]*)"/\1/p'` – Aaron Mar 14 '20 at 09:51
