Well, I'm still very new to Ruby, but I came across something similar 
that I needed to do already.  Maybe it can help you.  If you do the 
following:

news = 'kick the="size" ball="blue"'
news_word_array = news.gsub(/[\"=]/ ' ').split

It should return all of the words you are asking for in an array and 
then you can call and arrange that data in whatever way you see fit.
