I admit it, I used ChatGPT, but it was very straight forward so decided to reply with it anyway:

function fetchBracketText(str: string): {string}
	local texts = {}
	for text in str:gmatch("%[(.-)%]") do
		table.insert(texts, text)
	end
	return texts
end

local texts = fetchBracketText("this [is] a [test]")
print(texts) --{"is", "test"}
