Note that "=*;" in your regex will match
zero or more "=" characters -- probably not
what you intended.
"[^;]* will match any string up to the next
";" character which will be a value (assuming
you don't have or care about embedded whitespace.)
You might also want to consider using a r'...'
string for the regex, which will make including
backslash characters easier if you need them
at some future time.
