Most straightforward way would probably be "Avc[123]".replace("[", " [")) i'm not a regex expert but there are probably more "correct" ways....😅

If you want it to replace all occuurences (in case there are more than one) then do this using global flag "Avc[123] and Avc[455]".replace(/\[/g, " [")

const regex = /(\w)([ ]*)(\[\d+])/gm; const str = `avc[123] avc [123] avc [123] avc [123] avcd[12345] [123] avc[123 avc123 avc`; const subst = `$1 $3`; // The substituted value will be contained in the result variable const result = str.replace(regex, subst); console.log('Substitution result: ', result); More info https://regex101.com/r/k8XD9D/2
