The loop I posted does exactly that (using square brackets as to your
initial requirements). The 3rd parameter of preg_match ($aresult) will be
an array that holds the grouped expressions from the regex:
[0] - whole string
[1] - pre-match (all before <a href)
[2] - the URL part of the link
[3] - the linked text
[4] - postmatch (all after the closing </a>).
Within the loop I use this array to modify the HTML code to read
(pre-match)#linked-text# [#url#]...
which is what you want, after all.
