I need to check if a string contains a certain pattern using a regular expression

I have a string that is something like "Hello 9 you8 [C#587]" or "Hello 9 you8 [#587]"

I need to check if the string contains "[#numbers]" or "[letter#numbers]" using a regular expression in C#.

Please assist.

kind regards

In actual fact the "letter" part might be a word.

Please help as per update.

Thanks

I belive you want something slightly different to @hsz's answer. His will only check the [letter#numbers] and not the [#numbers].

Try this:

\[[a-zA-Z]?#\d+\]

Try with following regex:

\[[a-zA-Z]?#\d+\]
