Given an arbitrary string, I want to find each individual instance of

I tried this:
y=re.compile(r'\[PROMPT:.*\]')
Which works fine when the text is exactly "[PROMPT:whatever]" but
does not match on:
"something [PROMPT:foo] something [PROMPT:bar] something ..."
The overall goal is to identify the beginning and end of each [PROMPT...]
string in the line.
Ideas anyone?
Yeah, read the Friedl book. (Okay, so that's not gonna help right now,
but trust me, if you're going to write lots of regexes, READ THAT BOOK.)
I've read significant parts of it. The problem is that I don't write
re often enough to recall all the subtle details ... plus I am getting
old and feeble... ;)
