Get characters which are not in brackets REGEX

I'm basically working on custom query building. I've designed the pattern as field_set and sub_field_sets. A sample Query:



({e:3}.{f:44}.{f:2}) + ( 
({e:3}.{f:44}.{f:3}) + ({e:3}.{f:44}.{f:4})
) - ({e:3}.{f:44}.{f:5})


I want to get all operators from root using REGEX. Which in this case should result ['+', '-'] and NOT ['+', '+', '-']

  • You can shorten your regex a bit with removing the escapes for + and - in character classes. They are not required if these are only characters in the character class.
