dynamic link converter

hi there i am trying tom preg_replace on a string enclosed in brackets to denote a dynamic link $message = "[http://www.eletroteque.dyndns.org/index_html.php|Eletroteque Multimedia]"; echo $message = preg_replace("/((http(s?):\/\/)|(www\.))([\w\.]+)([\/\w+\.]+)([\|\w+\.]+)\b/ i", "<a href=\"http\\3://\\4\\5\\6\" target=\"_blank\">\\7</a>", $message); the result would be |Electroteque , i need somehow to check for the stuff within the [ ] , remove the | and return on the two words Electroteque Multimedia for the second part of the replace any ideas ?
