Thanks Susan Your pattern worked and your description was so useful. Now I get these as result :array(3) { [0]=> array(4) { [0]=> string(14) "({[|something1" [1]=> string(14) "({[|something2" [2]=> string(14) "({[|something3" [3]=> string(14) ...

Thanks Susan  Here is what i did : $value = "({[|something1|]})({[|something2|]})({[|something3|]})({[|something4|]})"; $pattern = "/\(\{\[\|((?!\|\]\}\)).)+/"; preg_match_all($pattern2,$value,$result); var_dump($result);   I get this result  array(2) { [0]=> array(4) { [0]=> ...

How can i tell with regular expressions that extract every thing that is between ({[| and |]}). It could be every thing between word, number,white spaces and even punctuations like | ] } ).

As a matter of fact my real pattern was ^teams/(.+)[^/]/([\d]+)/$ but it does not work(Of course it must not work!) When i want to refer to first parentheses it will give me the value in addition to the /. for example in this teams/Some-Team/12314/ , I will get  Some-Team/12314/ not Some-Team.
