Folks, one thing I find I have to do more often lately is parse repeated keywork+value pairs, and I can't figure out how to craft the right regex pattern for this sort of thing (assuming regex can do it). I have something like this sample:
%KEY1, value1 %KEY2,value2 %KEY3, %NOTE,This is a note %NAME, Fred Knuckle The red chars are the keywords, each keyword is followed by an optional value. Spaces can appear randomly. I'm hoping there's some way of parsing out these pieces: "KEY1" "value1" "KEY2" "value2" "KEY3" "" "NOTE" "This is a note" "NAME" "Fred Knuckle" Sorry for the boring looking question, but if I can find a way of parsing "repeated patterns" like my sample then it will solve a general problem that's been irritating me for ages, and the regex technique might be of general use to others. Cheers, Greg
