Question on regular expressions

[ASP.Confused]

Hey...no one's answering me in microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.general or
microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript, so I'm posting this question here. I
only need help with a regular expression!

----------

Ok. I have the following regular expression:

re.Pattern = "style[^=]*=[^\""]*\""[^\""]*\"""

It will grab any style attribute within HTML that uses double quotes, and
put it in the re.Matches collection.

Now, I want to include single quotes into this regular expression. Here's
what I have so far:

re.Pattern = "style[^=]*=[^\""']*(\""|\')[^\1]*\1"

but it does not work. Got any suggestions?

I don't have an immediate solution for you but I recommend that you use
the RegEx toolkits that are out there. They help you to visualize your
regex results...excellent resources.
