I would like to have a Regex select the next word after brackets containing letters. There can be more than multiple brackets following each other before the next word.
Example:
[X]word[y][Z]another
Expected output: word, another
I would like also to achieve the same but providing the regex the content between the brackets and get the following word:
Example 2: i would like the next word after [y]:
[X]word[y][Z]another
Expected output: another
I tried (?m)^[[^][]*]K.+
but somehow it’s not working.

Answer
Javascript does not support K
or inline modifiers like (?m)
You might use for example a capture group for 1 or more word characters, and first match from [...]
[[^][]*](w+)
Or providing the regex the content between the brackets and capture the following word, by optionally repeating [...]
after it:
[y](?:[[^][]*])*(w+)
