java.util.Regexp.Matcher issue with double quote

[nicolaspujol]

Hi,

I have the following regexp code which seems to be having an issue
handling a double quote.

String strMatch_pattern="(.*action\\=\")(.*)\"";
Pattern pattern=Pattern.compile(strMatch_pattern);
Matcher matcher=pattern.matcher(new StringBuffer("Hello
action=\"nicolas\" is here post=\"post\""));
while(matcher.find())
{
String strURL=matcher.group(2);
System.out.println(strURL);
}
This prints

nicolas" is here post="post

but should really print
nicolas

Any ideas as to what i could be doing wrong?

Ok it is my bad. I got it. The proper expression is:

String strMatch_pattern="(.*action\\=\")([^(\")]*)\"";
