在特定文本后获取字符串

Question

Get the String in bold between TEST: ["1","2"] . i want to get the part of a string from [ to ]. The problem is i have multiple open and closed brackets like: State:["VA","PA"],TEST: ["1","2"] ,City:["NYC"].

But i am only interested to get the string after TEST: . Can any one please suggest how can i extract that.

Thanks in advance.

For Example:

State:["VA","PA"],TEST: ["1","2"],City:["NYC"]

from above i just want to get ["1","2"]

State:["VA","PA"],Country:["US"],TEST: ["1","2"],City:["NYC"].

similarly i just want to get ["1","2"] which is after TEST: and from open bracket to closed bracket.

You can do it with regex, eg:

String src = "State:[\"VA\",\"PA\"],TEST: [\"1\",\"2\"],City:[\"NYC\"]";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("TEST: \\[(.*?)\\]");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(src);
if (matcher.find()) {
    System.out.println(matcher.group(1));
}
