This works, if I understand you correctly: <?php $message = "[http://www.eletroteque.dyndns.org/index_html.php|Eletroteque Multimedia]"; echo $message = preg_replace( "/\[((http(s?):\/\/)|(www\.))([\w\.]+)([\/\w+\.]+)\|([\s\w\.]+)\b\]/i", "<a href=\"http\\3://\\4\\5\\6\" target=\"_blank\">\\7</a>", $message ); ?> But wouldn't it be easier just to do use a pattern like this "/\[([^|]+)\|([^\]]+)/" which gets everything between [ and | (the URI) and | and ] (the link name)?
