I want to convert some text inside [...] into tags, for ex: [XENO:qst qst=86 ] and failed with regexp in Tagger.
Absolutely any symbols into square brackets.
I tried such regexp \[*\] But it`s wrong. Anybody knows right regexp?

\[[^\]]*\] Jul 13, 2020

\[[^\]]*\] works, but Eugene Gulak's version is simpler and better.

What I don't get is the use of both '?' (zero or one) and '*' (zero or more). '?' would seem redundant after '*', but it doesn't work without it.

It's not very well explained at https://docs.memoq.com/current/en/Places/regex-tagger.html .

Edit: there is indeed a description for '*?': 'zero or as few repeats as possible'.

It only works with one tag per segment.

In a case like this:

[abc] normal text [def]

the whole line is turned into a tag.
