Hi,

I have a set of expressions representing some formula with some parameters inside. Like:

"[parameter1] * [parameter2] * [multiplier]" and many others like this.

I want to use a regEx so that I can get a list of strings (List<string> ) which will have

[paramter1]
[paramter2]
[multiplier]

inside.

I am not using regular expressions so often; if you have already used something like this I would appreciate if you can share.

Thanks!
