Visual Studio find and replace right square bracket ] in character class

Question

I want to make a negated character class to match a square bracket tag like this [square bracket tag]. The problem is, the ] character ends the character class! I tried ``` $$[^$$]+] ``` but I get a syntax error when I run it. (This is in the find and replace regex engine which is slightly different than the standard .NET engine fyi).

Accepted Answer

You forgot to escape the final end bracket:

```
$$[^$$]+\]
```
