I don't know how you've come to the "\/" part of the regex. This makes 
the regex match only strings with some word characters followed by a 
slash followed by some digits. For example the string "e/12.1516".

I think you rather want "\s*=\s*" instead of the "\/" (an equals sign 
between spaces).

By the way: The dot "." has to be escaped. Otherwise it will match *any* 
character except newlines. And I think you should replace the "\w" with 
alphabetic characters: "[A-Za-z]". Because the \w also matches digits 
and the underscore.
