Regex split

[Macuso]

I am using the “Text Regex Split” component from “Sasquatch” and I need to create a definition in which to split the name of the geometry into several parts and I get into a roadblock.

I managed to take the first part that I do need (the first number before “-” character) but can’t find a way to take the second parts that is the name of the geometry (between “-” & “[”) and the third part that it is the number of pieces I need (between square brackets “”)

\-|\[|\] splits at - or [ or ]

it’s useful to split at last ] to get the clean value inside the square brackets:

instead of \-|\[ without the last |\], that would return:

Why bother with Sasquatch when standard GH Text Split works fine?
