Question

I am trying to remove BBCode with attributes and content between those tags. I’m using this regular expression that I got here from here. I also tried other regex I found on stackoverflow but they didn’t work for me, just the one I copy here is the closest.

([[\/\!]*?[^\[\]]*?])

I added a . before *?]) and it maches the text between the tags but also matches pokemon and I don’t want that.

**Regex**: ([[\/\!]*?[^\[\]].*?])

**Text**: I'm a pokemon master and I like
[TAG] this [/TAG] pokemon [TAG] and this [/TAG] text...

I use this web to test regex http://regexpal.com/

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

str = str.replace(/\[(\w+)[^\]]*](.*?)\[\/\1]/g, '');
