I think the point was missed. I don't want to use an XML parser. The
point is to pick up those tokens, and yes I've done my share of RTFM.
This is what I've come up with:
'\$\w*\(?.*?\)'
Which doesn't work well on the above example, which is partly why I
reached out to the group. Can anyone help
Hey Steven,
Thank you for the detailed (and well-written) tutorial on this very
issue. I actually learned a few things! Though, I still have
unresolved questions.
The reason I don't want to use an XML parser is because the tokens are

Hi,
I'm new to regular expressions. I want to be able to match for tokens
with all their properties in the following examples. I would
appreciate some direction on how to proceed.
h1@foo1/h1
p@foo2()/p
p@foo3(anything could go here)/p
Thanks-
Frank
