Simple regex

How can I write a regular expression to keep the part of a string that's between a pair of square braces? Here's a sample line: Updating Wellbore Set Keys: [wlbr_id = 1234567890, data_provider_code = MTBL, welltype = OIL] Thanks in advance for your help! Scott Scott E. Robinson SWAT

RE: COunting the number of times a string matches in another stri ng

Rob, thanks! This might work, but can you tell me how to make the pattern (:8: in your example) a variable? And I think I can count the number of elements in the @y array and use that as my match count, too. Thanks, Scott Scott E. Robinson SWAT Team UTC Onsite User Support RR-690 -- 281-654

RE: COunting the number of times a string matches in another string

:M260: for example -- and count its matches against one of the target strings, like :L520:M260:C000:S000:L200:14:E214:. I don't think a count hash does that?? Thanks, Scott Scott E. Robinson SWAT Team UTC Onsite User Support RR-690 -- 281-654-5169 EMB-2813N

COunting the number of times a string matches in another string

s each string is contained inside the target string, I thought substring matches might do it in one operation -- but I don't know how to count the number of matches. I hope somebody out there does -- or knows an even better way. Thanks, Scott Scott E. Robinson SWAT Team UTC Onsite User Support R
