Get text between brackets [duplicate]

Question

I have this string : Charles de Gaulle, (Paris) [CDG]

I would like in JavaScript/jQuery get just Paris. The initial string can have variable length.

I have tried this:

var tab = "Charles de Gaulle, (Paris) [CDG]";
var tab2 = tab.split(','); 
var tab3 = tab2.split('[') 

Answer 1

Try

var myString= "Charles de Gaulle, (Paris) [CDG]";
var result = myString.match(/\((.*)\)/);
alert(result[1]);

Answer 2

You can use .slice(begin,end) instead of .substring().
