Sorry about the delay, we had a thunderstorm which broke all Internet network in our area since last Friday. You can do this in 2 ways: - make your .* non greedy by adding a '?' suffix - or modify your regex this way: "\[ [^\]]*]" which means looking for an open bracket followed by zero to any number of chars which are not a close bracket, and last a close bracket. BTW, no need to escape the last closing bracket; the regex engine is smart enough. PCRE library accepts the 2 forms.
