need a little help with the regexp i make… have some text where links are encoded like

[NameLink ->link] or [NameLink->link]

The link can be without http:// or www.
Tried to get it using this pattern

/\[.{1,}\-\>.{1,}\]/

but if there are 2 such encoded links in a row then it doesn’t separate them and takes also the content between two links. Can someone tell me what’s the problem? Thank you

    Use +? instead of {1,}. Also, have a read on greedy vs. nongreedy.

    You may want to strip spaces using \s* around your .+?, this allows for both [NameLink -> link] and [NameLink ->link].
