Assuming you need a regular expression the following should work:

<\!--TEXT\[([^\]]*)\]-->\s*\n(.*)(?!<\!--END-->)

If this text is in a DOM it would be much better to parse the DOM however.

Explanation:

<\!--TEXT\[ // Match the start.
([^\]]*) // Match (in group 1), everything up until the next ']'
\]-->\s*\n // Match to the end of this line.
(.*) // Match anything (in group 2).
(?!<\!--END-->) // Stop before the end tag is next. (This will mean you get everything up to, but not including the previous line break).
