If you're looking to do it in a single line, try this:

echo $TA | perl -pe 's/^\[(.*) (.*)\]$/$1\n$2/' > file.txt

Hope this helps.

MULTIMARKDOWN(1p)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					 MULTIMARKDOWN(1p)

NAME

       multimarkdown - Convert MultiMarkdown syntax to (X)HTML

DESCRIPTION

       This program is distributed as part of Perl's Text::MultiMarkdown module, illustrating sample usage.

       multimarkdown can be invoked on any file containing MultiMarkdown-syntax, and will produce the corresponding (X)HTML on STDOUT:

	   $ cat file.txt
	   [MultiMarkdown][] *extends* the very well-known [Markdown][] syntax.

	   [MultiMarkdown]: http://fletcherpenney.net/What_is_MultiMarkdown
	   [Markdown]: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/

	   $ multimarkdown file.txt
	   <p><a href="http://fletcherpenney.net/What_is_MultiMarkdown">MultiMarkdown</a> <em>extends</em> the very well-known <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/">Markdown</a> syntax.</p>

       If no file is specified, it will expect its input from STDIN:

	   $ echo "A **simple** test" | multimarkdown
	   <p>A <strong>simple</strong> test</p>

OPTIONS

       version
	   Shows the full information for this version

       shortversion
	   Shows only the version number

       html4tags
	   Produce HTML 4-style tags instead of XHTML - XHTML requires elements that do not wrap a block (i.e. the "hr" tag) to state they will
	   not be closed, by closing with "/>". HTML 4-style will plainly output the tag as it comes:

	       $ echo '---' | multimarkdown
	       <hr />
	       $ echo '---' | multimarkdown --html4tags
	       <hr>
