Regex help!

[thor]

Hi folks, I'm trying to parse some Wiki style markup to generate some html but regex is not my strong point.
I'm trying to replace markup such as this:

<< content_here <<

into this:

<div>content_here</div>

The parser I'm using (Javascript Creole 1.0 Wiki Parser) uses regex to match all other markup so I'm trying to follow the same format using this expression:

/<<([^*~]*((<(?!<)|~(.|(?=\n)|$))[^*~]*)*)(<<|\n|$)/

Which doesn't quite do the job - it appears to be generating a div block for each "<<" instead of "<<blahblah<<"

Basically, I need the expression to match << followed by anything at all, until it hits the next <<

Anyone able to help?

match

<<\s(.+)\s<<

replace with

<div>$1</div>
