yes, but it won't work with foreach (I cannot explain why - anyone?). this
does work though
while( /(\S+?)='(.*?)'/g) {
$getty{$1}=$2;
}
I originally did something like this, but since you only wanted to match a
few things I thought the straight match would be simpler.
Keep in mind that you lose ordering this way. If you also wanted to
preserve order, push them onto a list as well, and use the list to access
the values in order.
I also had to change the regex slightly to match non whitespace chars for
the value in front of the =
If you ever want to know if something will work, just give it a try :)
