Subject: regexp  splitting problem

Hi,
I am trying to   split the following line of text:

<button> "btn Exit" "Exit Button"               ( note the quotes may be 
" or ' , read from a file)

in such a way that I can say

txt = line.split(/regrex/)

and get back

txt[0] = <button>
txt[1] = btn Exit
txt[2] = Exit Button

my current regexp

ans = tst.split(/[\"|\']/)

does this , except that the last set is missing ! ,


txt[0] = <button>
txt[1] = btn Exit
txt[2] =

so how do I get the expression to continue processing the line ??
Thanks
