Removing brackets [] inside a string

[madhabhazra0]

I have the following string:
“- [RPUIN-01/31/2023 12:38:32 PM] Contact ABC TEST - [ TEST UIPOMIN-01/31/2023 12:38:52 PM]”

I only want to have the part outside the brackets:
“Contact ABC TEST”

I’m not able to remove the brackets…

Thank you for the help

Welcome to the forum

we can do with regex and later trim the result:

[CheatSheet] - System.Text.RegularExpressions | RegEx

This CheatSheet introduces the basic use of regex functions. With further examples also special cases are presented. Introduction From the namespace System.Text.RegularExpressions following methods are offered: Regex.Match Regex.Matches Regex.isMatch Regex.Replace Regex.Split A simple usage for example would look like this: [grafik] Recommendation: add System.Text.RegularExpressions to the imports: [grafik] it allows to use the shortened statement, as the namespace part can be ommited…

Use regex:

(?<=\])(.*?)(?=\[)

Then trim it

@postwick

(?<=])(.*?)(?=[)

Can you please send me the UiPath syntax with Regex?

[ppr (Peter)]

strPattern = (?<=\]).*(?<=\[)

Assign Activity
strResult = System.Text.RegularExpressions(YourStringVar, strPattern).Value.Trim

You can also refer to the linked CheatSheet

Thanks for your help !!

sDescription = “- [SADMIN-01/31/2023 12:38:32 PM] Contact ABC TEST - [ TEST SADMIN-01/31/2023 12:38:52 PM]”
sPattern = (?<=]).*(?<=[)

Please find the attached syntax that worked for me.
sResult = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(sDescription, sPattern).Value.Trim

Hi @madhabhazra0

Give a try with

System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(strInput, "(?<=\]\s)(.*?)(?=\s-\s\[)").Value.Trim

Regards!

@fernando_zuluaga

"(?<=\]\s)(.*?)(?=\s-\s\[)"

Thanks for the help!!

This solution is also worked.

Hi I have one Input String.
I want to delete everything inside the bracket.

Example -
Input String - John Smith - [ADMIN-01/31/2023 12:38:32 PM] and second and [third] - [ M] also - [ADMIN-01/31/2023 12:38:52 PM] and 4th - [TEST-02/21/2023 abc 01:37:23 AM]

Output - John Smith and second and also and 4th
