Starting to learn by doing nothing will not help. Do all lessons at regexone.com, read through regular-expressions.info, regex SO tag description (with many other links to great online resources), and the community SO post called What does the regex mean. Also, have a look at rexegg.com. — Wiktor Stribiżew

You can easily use String.prototype.match() that select specific part of string by regex. Note that the \w+ matches word characters.

var str =  "  (  [Field1]  +  [Field2]  )    +    (  [Field3]  -  [Field4]  )  ";
var result = str.match(/\w+/g);
console.log(result);
