You can treat the string as a list with "&" as the delimiter. Each element in that list can then also be treated as a list with "=" as the delimiter. Knowing that, there are several avenues you can take. You can create an array out of the main list (as Oasim suggested), which will give you an array of just the name/value pairs. You can then extract each value treating each element in that array as a list with 2 items (delimited by "="). Or, you can loop over the main list (string), and similarly extract the names and values.
