That worked perfectly.  Is there any way I can make it so that
it'll put the <br> there in every instance except for when it's
preceded by another square bracket.

So this:

[hi] there, this is me [HI] there, this is me
would turn into this:

[hi] there, this is me <br>[HI] there, this is me

(which is the script that you sent me and works beautifully)

but this:

[hi] there, this is me [HI][HI] there, this is me

won't turn into this:

[hi] there, this is me <br>[HI]<br>[HI] there, this is me

?
