Simple pattern matching

[Minkoo Seo]

Hi group.

Sorry for newbie question. Given the line like

node: { title: "15597629" label: "up[0,18 p:-2270.125]" }

How can I parse the above string into "15597629" and "up[0,18
p:-2270.125]"? There are numbers in the first "..." and a-z, :, [, and
] in the second "..." part.

Thanks in advance.

'node: { title: "15597629" label: "up[0,18 p:-2270.125]" }' =3D~
%r{(".*?").*?(".*?")}

seems a reasonable way to do it. Move the quotes outside the () if you do
not want them excluded
from the results.
Access the data with

$1, $2 or Regexp.last_match[1], ...[2]

Hope that helps
Robert

P.S.
Regexp questions are never newbee ;-)

p:-2270.125]"? There are numbers in the first "..." and a-z, :, [, and

Here are a couple of ways:

s = 'node: { title: "15597629" label: "up[0,18 p:-2270.125]" }'
# => "node: { title: \"15597629\" label: \"up[0,18 p:-2270.125]\" }"

s =~ /title:\s("[^"]*")\slabel:\s("[^"]*")/
# => 8

$1
# => "\"15597629\""

$2
# => "\"up[0,18 p:-2270.125]\""

s.scan(/"[^"]*"/)
# => ["\"15597629\"", "\"up[0,18 p:-2270.125]\""]

'node: { title: "15597629" label: "up[0,18 p:-2270.125]" }'.
split('"').values_at(1,3)

=> ["15597629", "up[0,18 p:-2270.125]"]

str = 'node: { title: "15597629" label: "up[0,18 p:-2270.125]" }'
node = YAML.load( str.sub(/"[^"]+"/, '\0,') )
node['title'] => "15597629"
node['label']

=> "up[0,18 p:-2270.125]"

I don't know if it's helpful, but it's at least kind of striking.
