please post the input and the desired output.
In my opionion it's best to avoid (.*) or (.+) in your expressions or better still avoid '.' altogther. This is really VERY generic and is what is causing your problem.
You need to be more specific about what characters you want to match between the @@@ bits in your text.
The @ character will be matched by the (.+) part of the expression and the program will try to match the largest string it can find.
You need to make your expression say that the @ character can not be included between the '@@@' tags. This will make your expression a lot longer.

If you want to search for text containing "something" or "other" on the same line you would use the following:
something|other
The "|" vertical bar character is used to indicate one thing or another in regex.
