To select text between brackets:

\[\K.+?(?=\])

Are you wanting to change the text to something specific or change the formatting of the text? And do the brackets remain or do they need to leave. The second question would determine if a find/change would be better for you or if you should build it into a style.

I would like to change format of the text between the brackets (I want to keep the brackets)

Hi

See above Obi-wan's answer, this is what you need.

Note OWK did translate bracket as [ ]

If you meant ( ), then use \(\K.+?(?=\))
