That's a great job for findstr:

set var "this is a [test]"    

set found [findstr $var "\[" 1 "\]"]

The findstr command takes 3 options:

  • the first is the string to find inside another string, and from where to start collecting from. "["

  • the second is a skip count. You don't want to include the "[" in the result, so you'll skip one character.

  • the third is an optional terminator value (number of characters) or character. Without this option it'll collect to the end of the string. "]"

I don't have a test environment in front of me right now to verify, but I'm pretty sure you need to escape the brackets. "["
