javascript - Create an array of strings inside the brackets from right to left

Question

I want to create an array of the texts inside brackets fom right to left. So if we have this text:

const text = "I was sent [to earth] for the [next time]"

Then the desired result would be:

["next time", "to earth"]

So far I just find the regex to select the inside of the bracket:

This is the prototype (not the code I'm looking for):

const text = "I was sent [to earth] for the [next time]"

const result = text.replace(
        /(?<=[)(.*?)(?=])/g, // this is the regex to select inside of the brackets
        'inside bracket'
 );

 console.log(result);

You can use match (with look arounds) + reverse:

const text = "I was sent [to earth] for the [next time]"

var arr = text.match(/(?<=[)[^]]+(?=])/g).reverse()

console.log(arr)
//=> ["next time", "to earth"]
