How can I write a regular expression to keep the part of a string that's
between a pair of square braces? Here's a sample line:
Updating Wellbore Set Keys: [wlbr_id = 1234567890, data_provider_code =
MTBL, welltype = OIL]
Maybe:
s/^[^[]]*\[([^[]]+)\][^[]]*$/$1/
Forgot a few backslashes there. Should be:
s/^[^\[\]]*\[([^\[\]]+)\][^\[\]]*$/$1/

Wow, that's plenty ugly.
