Regular Expressions problems

help!

I'm having regular expressions problems!

I just can't get my "inline styles" - like bold italic bold italic underline bold italic and underline, all of that with monospace, etc., to work right. All of this appears to work so far, right?

Well, the problem is that I can't get it exactly right. Probably the hardest problem I'm having now is how to get this to work:

the case where you have *italics and **bold inside***

Getting monospaced text to not screw up URLs (I use an '=' for monospace, which appears in URLs) is also a problem.

If anyone out there is an expert in regular expressions who'd be willing to help me I'd really appreciate it.
