Hello Regex Gurus, I need help handling this particular situation
In a log file, I have a line like this, 2014-06-17 13:55:14: IncomingData: TMSUpdateCallback: { SourceID=JP000456712 Ric=0388.HK BuyQty=3800.0 TradeTime="2014-06-17 13:54:19" DestID="" ExchangeTransCode="65725497 89897456 523 1" Account="PTBHK01" } I have to make a dictionary out of this line using the key=value pair strings between {} parenthesis. I can take out the inner string using the following code, re.search('^.*{ (.*) }.*$', line).groups()[0] But, after this, I'm looking for a way to split the string using ' '(space), but the values also contains ' '(space) in between. I have to replace the space in the values and split the string using ' '(space). Is there any way in regex to capture only the values which are inside "" and contain space?
