How to parse some text from pattern with javascript?

Question

the string contains a value like this:

my string [[ [[test1]] test2 ]] other text

How I can get a values test1 and test2 in a different variables?

I tried!

var test = "my string [[ [[test1]] test2 ]] other text";

var reg = /[^\[\]]*[\w ]+(?=\])/i;
var reg2 = /\]\]\s*(.*)\s*\]\]/i;

result = reg2.exec(test);

alert(result);

The second regular I've made by myself, but it's still not the answer, it's returns me an array. So how to make it only a one value instead of whole array?

ok, where I can read about what I can to do with it?

Why are you just giving answers away? They haven't even shown any effort.

sorry, I even doesn't know what better to use, I know that javascript has not only a RegExp functions to make it.
