@AbdelhamedAbdin the question is simple, given a input string in format [1???] 2???, first value is given in bracket and remaining out of the bracket is second value, parse this string and fetch both values — Himanshu Jangid

You can use escape character \ for this as follow:

const str = '[https://thisisurl.com] This is Name'

const regex = /\[(.*)\] (.*)/i
const matchResult = str.match(regex)

const url = matchResult[1]
const name = matchResult[2]

console.log(`url: "${url}" name: "${name}"`)
