    I am trying to search for labels that have brackets [ ], and replace
    them with < >. I am having trouble using rex pattern matching, it
    "seems" like I am not able to do this. I tried using backslash before
    the bracket.

    I am trying to search for labels that have brackets [ ], and replace
    An easy way to do this is to use parseString.

    x = parseString( text "[]" )
    when( length(x) > 1
    text = strcat( car(x) "<" cadr(x) ">" )
    )

    Using regexps, carefully escape the backslashes :

    rexCompile("\\[\\([0-9]+\\)\\]")
    rexReplace(text "<\\1>" 1)
