JavaScript - Remove text between [" "]

Hi

I will have to process chunks of text which may contain ["text between square brackets and double quotes"]. The idea is to remove that text, including the quotes and brackets, and keeping the rest.

My current regex is as follows:

/\["[^"]*"\]/g

This works fine on the following:

Hello ["remove this"] world ["remove this too"] !

Resulting in:

Hello world !

But it falls apart when I enter a quote inside [" "]:

Hello ["remo"ve this"] world ["remove this too"] !

In this case, the second [" "] is handles properly, but the first one stays put. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Nothing. Your [^"] doesn't allow any quotes inside, so if there are any the match fails.

Swap it for an ungreedy .*?

That did the trick. Awesome!

Thanks!!
