Hi guys

I am looking for a regular expression to match:

username='abcdef'

where abcdef can be any amount of numerical or alphabetical characters.

I have tried \\s+username\\s*=\\s* , but it does not match the whole string.

thanks

Solution 2

Give you the starting point for the expression:

\\busername=["']*\\w["']*\\b

username in this regex consists only from numbers and/or letters. If you want some special characters you have to change it.

Good luck.
