C# Regex to find and replace string

Question

I want to find occurrences of anything within [[...]] and replace with another string. For example, [[name]] lives in Florida. [[name]] = James

I almost have it working, except for one small issue.

Regex.Replace([[name]], @" ?\[[.*?\]]", "James")

The output is: James] lives in Florida. The last ] is not being replaced.

Answer 1

You need to escape both opening square brackets (and closing square brackets don't need): \[\[.*?]].
