Explanation
(?m) - sets ^ and $ to match beginning and end of a line instead of whole string.
* - 0 or more spaces.
() - store the enclosed part into s2.
[^[]]+ - 1 or more any characters except new line characters. Note: [] is QM escape sequence, not a part of regex syntax. Using regex syntax it would be [^\r\n]+.
