Hi,

I'm trying to get the following code to work. The [tag] stuff works fine.. but trying to grab the content AFTER it doesn't seem to 

my $current_article = qq|
[sommaire foo bar 3]
[[345fsdf sf]]
[[sdf sf fsd fsf]] [[foo bar\|whatever]]
== foo bar
=== foo bar test
[/sommaire]
|;

while ($current_article =~ m/\[\[(.+?)\]\]/g) {
    my $tag_name = $1;
    print "Got $tag_name \n";
    print "Checking if we have any contents AFTER it... \n";
    print "RUNNING: \Q[[$tag_name]]\E(.*?)\[ \n";
    if ($current_article =~ /\Q[[$tag_name]]\E(.*?)\[/) {
        print "Got contents: $1 and $2 \n";
    }
    print "\n\n";
}

Basically, the output I'm after is: Tag: 345fsdf sf Tag: sdf sf fsd fsf Tag: foo bar|whatever Tag Contents: == foo bar === foo bar test

I've tried a ton of options, but can't seem to get it quite right.

Can anyone suggest whats going on? =)

TIA

Andy
