/(\[+[*\d]+\])/

The "\[+" means: one or more literal "["s.

The "[*\d]" is a character class off a literal asterisk and a digit, so
it tries to match either an asterisk or a digit. The "+" behoind it
means "one or more of the previous" again.

ITYM: /(\[\d+\])/
which means: a literal "[", followed by one or more digits, followed by
a literal "]".
