Replace All with Regular Expression

Question

Hi all,
I need a help to replace the String:
to
"<a href=\"1\"">Java Programming</a>"
I was trying to replace with
.replaceAll("\\[\\[*([^\\]]*?)*\\]\\]", "<a href=\"\"></a>")
but I don't know how to separate the parameters values.
Best regards

Hi prometheuzz,
you are the one!!
But how I could do to a Srting like this:
Ah, more requirements...
Things are getting a bit messy now:
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
class Main { 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String line = "any text any text any text any text any text. "+
                      "Click - [[Code: 6 Title: Java Programming]]. "+
                      "any text any text any text any text any text. "+
                      "- [[C�digo: 2 T�tulo: Sun]] text text "+
                      "any text any text any text any text any text.";
        String newLine = line;
        String[] wikiTags = getWikiTags(newLine);
        for(String tag : wikiTags) {
            String newTag = "<a href=\""+get("(Code:|C�digo:)", " ", tag)+
                            "\">"+get("(Title:|T�tulo:)", "$", tag)+"</a>";
            newLine = newLine.replaceFirst("\\[\\["+tag+"\\]\\]", newTag);
        System.out.println(line);
        System.out.println(newLine);
    public static String[] getWikiTags(String text) {
        java.util.List<String> list = new java.util.ArrayList<String>();
        Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("(?<=\\[\\[)(.*?)(?=\\]\\])");
        Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(text);
        while(matcher.find()) {
            list.add(matcher.group());
        return list.toArray(new String[list.size()]);
    public static String get(String start, String end, String text) {
        Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("(?<="+start+"\\s)(.*?)(?="+end+")");
        Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(text);
        return matcher.find() ? matcher.group() : "#ERROR#";

Thanks a lot for you helpLike I said, it's a bit of a messy solution. See if you can use (a part of) it.
Good luck.
