Regex for getting all digits in a string after a character

Question

I am trying to parse the following string and return all digits after the last square bracket:

C9: Title of object (foo, bar) [ch1, CH12,c03,4]

Answer 1

It may help to use the non-greedy ?. For example:

\[.*?(\d*?),.*?(\d*?),.*?(\d*?),.*?(\d*?)\]

And, here's how it works (from https://regex101.com/r/jP7hM3/1):

"\[.*?(\d*?),.*?(\d*?),.*?(\d*?),.*?(\d*?)\]"
\[ matches the character [ literally
.*? matches any character (except newline)
Quantifier: *? Between zero and unlimited times, as few times as possible, expanding as needed [lazy]
1st Capturing group (\d*?)
\d*? match a digit [0-9]
Quantifier: *? Between zero and unlimited times, as few times as possible, expanding as needed [lazy]
, matches the character , literally
.*? matches any character (except newline)
Quantifier: *? Between zero and unlimited times, as few times as possible, expanding as needed [lazy]
2nd Capturing group (\d*?)
\d*? match a digit [0-9]
Quantifier: *? Between zero and unlimited times, as few times as possible, expanding as needed [lazy]
, matches the character , literally
.*? matches any character (except newline)
Quantifier: *? Between zero and unlimited times, as few times as possible, expanding as needed [lazy]
3rd Capturing group (\d*?)
\d*? match a digit [0-9]
Quantifier: *? Between zero and unlimited times, as few times as possible, expanding as needed [lazy]
, matches the character , literally
.*? matches any character (except newline)
Quantifier: *? Between zero and unlimited times, as few times as possible, expanding as needed [lazy]
4th Capturing group (\d*?)
\d*? match a digit [0-9]
Quantifier: *? Between zero and unlimited times, as few times as possible, expanding as needed [lazy]
\] matches the character ] literally

Although - I have to agree with others... This is a regex solution, but its not a very pythonic solution.
