Dotan,
I'm surmising what you really want to do is grab all the characters
between [ and | for the first field, and everything from | to ] as
the second field. I would therefore identify the first field with:
[^\]|]
anything except the close-bracket and the vertical pipe
and the second field with:
[^\]]
anything except the close-bracket
Therefore:
/\[([^\]|]+)\|([^\]]+)\]/
Regards,

Thanks, Paul. I've been refining my methods, and I think it's better
(for me) to just match everything between [ and ], including spaces,
underscores, apostrophies, and pipes. I'll explode on the pipe inside
the function.
So I thought that a simple "/\[([.]+)\]/i" should do it. This is the line:
$text=preg_replace_callback('/\[([.]+)\]/i' , "findLinks", $text);
This is what it is doing:
1) on "[~~]" where ~~ does not include spaces nor pipes: The function
replaces "[~~]" with "".
2) on "[~~]" where ~~ includes a pipe, but no space: The function does
not replace anything.
3) on "[~~]" where ~~ includes a space, but no pipe: The function does
not do what I intend it to do, and I am unable to figure out exactly
what it is doing.
3) on "[~~]" where ~~ includes a space and a pipe: The function does
not replace anything.
However, this function:
$text=preg_replace_callback('/\[([A-Za-z0-9\|\'.-:underscore:]+)\]/i'
, "findLinks", $text);
Does what I want it to when there is no space, regardless of whether
or not there is a pipe. It does not replace anything if there is a
space.
