tags

I need to get a list of tags in a text, make their contents bold, and remove them. Can't figure out how to make it.

E.g. with the following input:

foo [b]bar[/b]

The result should be:

foo bar

I use the following code to extract the tags:

 Dim matches = Regex.Matches(OriginalRich.Text, String.Format("(\[{0}\])(.*?)(\[/{0}\])", tag), RegexOptions.IgnoreCase Or RegexOptions.Compiled)

Any help would be appreciated.
