I want to find hallo, abc,fg and bc but only find fg.

x = re.findall("[(?<=\])^][a-z\#]*[(?=\[)(?=$)]", field)

Answer 2

For all those who are not familiar with RegEx, (e.g. me 😅) here another solution:

inp = "hallo##abc[def]fg[hij]##[def]bc"
inp = inp.replace('##',',')
inp = list(inp)
while '[' in inp:
inp[inp.index('['):inp.index(']')+1] = ''
print(''.join([i for i in inp]))

It can be modified to create a single string, not words.

x = re.findall("(.*?)(?:\[.*?\]|$)",field)
