Using Regex in Google sheets, I need to extract "content1" in a separate cell (B1) from the 1st bracketed set without the brackets

This entire string will appear in cell A1: [content1] [content2][content3] [content4][content5]

The content in the brackets will vary in length and may contain symbols and/or numbers (ex:"JPS | 5")

There will always be 5 bracket sets

You may try using REGEXEXTRACT with the pattern [^\[\]]+

=REGEXEXTRACT(A1, "[^\[\]]+")

The REGEXEXTRACT function by default will return the first match, which in this case should be content1.
