Unix Command to Search a text pattern

Im trying to search a text like this below in my log files in Unix box i.e. it starts with text 'TransactionTime:' and then after some characters there is a bracker [ with some numbers inside and then closed by ]

For e.g.

TransactionTime: 1407258546484 -> 1407258552848 [ 6364 ]

I tried a couple of combinations to search this in my unix file using Grep but it didnt help me, how can i search and print all these lines in my console or output file ?

File name is TransactionPerformance.log

Thanks

For the sake of choice I would try ack an improved version of grep -> enter link description here 

ack '^TransactionTime:.*\[ [\d]+ \]' *

You could try the below grep command which use -P(Perl regexp) parameter,

grep -P '^TransactionTime:.*?\[[\s\d]+\]' *
