(Paul) Date: 2004-05-29T09:38:40+09:00 Subject: regular expression help please How do I extract the name and value from the following lines: name=paul value=10 otherstuff=123 but the line may also be: name='hello paul' value='10' otherstuff='123' I know it has to do with \0 \1 etc, but cant figure out how to make the re work for both cases Thanks
