I know how I would achieve this using PHP, but with jQuery / JavaScript I'm not sure how to, here's the string I'm dealing with (It's the name attribute from a input element):
Field[0][some_random_text]
I want to retrieve the value some_random_text
and slap it in a variable, I guess I would usually use regex to accomplish this task but not sure how this is done in JavaScript. Here are some characteristics of this name attribute.
- It will always be in this format
string[string][string]
- Each of the strings can be any length
How would I get the some_random_text
string?
I'd like to stick to the standard set of functions if possible.
