[Tutor] Using Regular Expression to extracting string in brackets on a list

[Jing Ai]

Hello,

I am trying to rewrite some contents on a long list that contains words
within brackets and outside brackets and I'm having trouble extracting the
words within brackets, especially since I have to add the append function
for list as well.  Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!

*An example of list*:

['hypothetical protein BRAFLDRAFT_208408 [Branchiostoma floridae]\n',
'hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha [Mus musculus]\n', 'hypoxia-inducible
factor 1-alpha [Gallus gallus]\n' ]

*What I'm trying to extract out of this*:

['Branchiostoma floridae', 'Mus musculus', 'Gallus gallus']
