I use an earlier step to get info from a Google calendar entry, but can’t seem to figure out how how write the Python code to extract the text between a [ and a ] from the calendar entry title. 

For context, the calendar entry title would look like this: 

Media Interview - Jeremy Knauff [TBBJ]

And in this case, I’m trying to get the TBBJ using the Text in Formatter. 

Any advice? I’m stumped.
