Hi,
I don't quite understand the regular expression:
re.compile("[a-z]+.*?(?=[a-z]|$)" )
and I tried. In some cases it works. But if the string looks like:
s = 'a = 3.4 b = 4.5 5.6 c = "h","d"'
it failed.
What I came up with is :
names = re.compile(r'(\w+)\s*=').findall(s)
the corresponding values
values = re.split(r'\w+\s*=',s)[1:]
It dose not look good but it works. What do you think?
Thanks,Qilong

Try this:
import re
s = 'a = 4 b =3.4 5.4 c = 4.5'
r = re.compile("[a-z]+.*?(?=[a-z]|$)" )
l = r.findall(s)
print l
