[RESOLVED] Regex help

Hi all, I’ve been killing myself for the last 3 hours trying to figure out why this isn’t working.

I’m trying to get stuff in between “]” and “[“

The regex is

[CODE]/(?<=(]))*(?=([))/[/CODE]

and the subject is “[url=”http”]Hello[/url]” EDIT: appently what I am trying to parse is also how you link in this site, so it’s “[url” + “=”http”]” + Hello + “[/url]”

It’s supposed to get “Hello”, but instead I get this error: Warning: preg_match_all() [function.preg-match-all]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 9

I can’t figure out what the problem is. Searching this forum it seems like Preg doesn’t like a certain character, but which one?

thanks for any help!
