    To match these characters:

    if (str.matches("[a-zA-Z\\[\\]+\\-/*()]*")) {
      ...
    }
    

    A better version is:

    if (str.matches("\\s*\\[[a-zA-Z]+\\](\\s*[/*+-]\\s*\\[[a-zA-Z]+\\])*")) {
      ...
    }
    

    Supporting parentheses is difficult because if you can put expressions in parentheses it is no longer a regular language (it is a context-free language). Regexes are a poor fit for matching that kind of expression. For that you’ll need a PDA (pushdown automaton).
