regular expression for tags with there attribute and content.

[Heron]

Hi,

I'm new to regular expressions and having troubles recreating one that would
match tags with there attribute and content.

Example on which i'm doing the match:
[CODE class="testclas s" created=John] protected void
btnLogout_Click (object sender, EventArgs e)<br / {<br />
this._db.SignOu t(Session);<br / if (Session["User"] != null)<br />
Session.Remove( "User");<br / FormsAuthentica tion.SignOut(); <br />
Response.Redire ct(Page.Request .Url.AbsoluteUr i);<br / }<br />[/code]

Most of the expression I got so far is working but the problem is when the
content between the tags contains a [ like in the example, my current regex
won't match that and I can't strip the tags to read the content since I can
have multiple tags in one line :/.

Expression so far:
(?<starttag>\[(?<tag>\w+)(?<a ttributes>[|:/\+\-\=\'\".?&amp;\w \s]*)\])(?<Content>[^\[]*)(?<endtag>\[\/\k<tag>\])

(?<starttag>\[(?<tag>\w+)(?<a ttributes>[|:/\+\-\=\'\".?&amp;\w \s]*)\]) <--
starttag (with attributes in) works, would match [CODE class="testclas s"
created=John]

(?<attributes>[|:/\+\-\=\'\".?&amp;\w \s]*)\]) <-- attributes works, would
match class="testclas s" created=John

(?<Content>[^\[]*) <-- content doesn't catch [

(?<endtag>\[\/\k<tag>\]) <-- endtag works, would match [/code]

The following matches the content when used with the singleline option

\[(?<tag>\w+)(?<a ttributes>[|:/\+\-\=\'\".?&\w\s]*)\](?<content>.*?) \[\/\k<tag>\]
