From: PDTCT Date: 2008-07-05T18:27:22+09:00 Subject: Regexp help please Hi All, I am trying to extract quoted text fromlines in a file. Assume I have read in a line as follows type "this piece of text" into field called "search field" I then want to extract the two pieces of quoted text from this line. I'm halfway there with this line =~ /(".*?")/ this will match the first piece of quoted text, which I can access with $1. I'm having trouble getting the match to carry on & match the next piece of quoted text. Any help greatly appreciated :-) Many Thanks Paul
