Thanks for your solution, works perfect.
Let me try to verbalize the regex (" for better readability): "\[[^\]]+\]"
the string starts with "[" and ends with "]": SingleCharEsc "\[" and "\]"
in between there is a charGroup: "[]"
with a quantifier "+" for one or more occurrences
the charGroup is a negcharGroup, as it starts with: "^"
it contains one character "]": SingleCharEsc "\]",
thus allowing for one or more characters which are not "]".

I would prefer to try it out with an editor's find. To my surprise
your solution worked fine with SciTE. One difference I noted
was, that SciTE does not need the SingleCharEsc within the
charGroup.
