I guess you know how to use a filter and you only want suggestions for
the regexp to match the subject:
(\[.*?\])*\s*(Startword)(.*?)\s*(Endword)
(\[.*?\])*
^^^^^^^^^^ Brackets with words, but optional Subpatt1
\s*
^^^^^possible whitespaces, but optional
(Startword)
^^^^^^^^^^^ Startword matched in Subpatt2, if you need other words
just type in what is necessary.
(.*?)
^^^^^^ this is "...the text in the middle..." in Subpatt3
\s*
^^^^ possible whitespaces following, but optional
(Endword)
^^^^^^^^^^Endword as "Startword" I assume, nothing follows Endword?!
