in thread Regex dynamics

Ah, my bad on last post :P. Meant that the [] are captured (not matched as written there).
t[tag]: happens $1 == t $2 == [tag] instead of $1 == t $2 == tag
My bad on explanations. I should be more careful on how to write (or think beforehand instead of just writing... :)).

    ok, but what should happen on cases like this?
    P[[bb]] x[xx[x]] Z[[z]y] X[a[s]x] V[a[b[c[d]f]g]h]
    Boris
      P[[bb]] $1: P $2: [bb] x[xx[x]] $1: x $2 xx[x] Z[[z]y] $1: Z $2: [z]y X[a[s]x] $1: X $2: a[s]x V[a[b[c[d]f]g]h] $1: V $2: a[b[c[d]f]g]h
      Also to not forget V[a]C[b] (multiple tags in line) should be allowed as well. So the current one is quite nice (which does pretty much everything). But removing outermost pair of [] is pretty trivial (if done outside the already used regex).
      my ($key,$value)=($1,$2); $value=~s/^\[|\]$//g;
      So as i said i can live with it :).
