Answer 1

I have already answered this question yesterday, use Regex.Matches(@"(?<=\["")[^""]+")

Using the @ prefix, you make the string literal, which means in your case the backlashes are handled as other characters and you don't need to escape them. But you need to double the double quotes.

The lookbehind part was already explained, so please don't repost the same question next time.

Answer 2

This is what you want:

Regex.Matches(s44, "(?<=\\[\").*?(?=\",)");     

output: new york, new york times

You need to escape the bracket. Additionally, you need to introduce a group by using the parenthesis. The text you want is than contained in that group:

var matches = Regex.Matches(s44, "\\[\"(.*?)\",");
foreach(Match match in matches)
{
    var result = match.Groups[1].Value;
}
