Re: Another regular expression

Try this: \[link:([^\|])+)\|([^\]])+] That forces the "inner match" not to extend the "closing mark"... There's also a regexp option that forces the match to be "as short as possible" instead of the default of "match as much as possible" that will solve your problem too...
