regex/matchtext question SOLVED

[Klaus Major]

Hi all,

after carefully reading my own post, I found the answer :-)
Now it works with "[" and "[["!

See below for the solution.

## !!!
replace "\" with "" in neu

## Otherwise there was no matching text to replace which ended in an  
eternal repeat loop!
