I need help to fix a regular expression phrase I am testing for.

I have a string that will always contain the string "]C1". I have been handling that fine for many years using the regular expression ........

"][Cc]1"

But now, I have to also handle the string as EITHER "]C1" or "[C1". I am not sure how to modify this regular expression phrase to handle the open bracket.

I tried ....... "[]\[][Cc]1" ;

But, it doesn't compile.

Can somebody out here please help me. I need to be able to handle EITHER "[" or "]" in my string.

Any help on how I need to modify my regular expression phrase is appreciated.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Stay Cool Ya'll! [smile2]

what's the backslash for ?

makes sense that way [\[\]] and will compile

 
Thanks for the help. I finally got it to work as ....

"[[]]"

Weird, but it works.
