Question

have the following text file:

<div>
    <asp:HyperLinkField HeaderText="Hello World of Regular Expression" />
</div>

How do i get what’s between the double quotes for any word and spaces?

Updated:

//This one gets me close but doesn't get me strings with spaces in them
var match = Regex.Match(tokens[1], @"HeaderText=\""(\w+)\"""); 
//This was suggested below. It shows correct match count but values are just empty strings
var match = Regex.Match(tokens[1], @"HeaderText=""[^""]+""|[\w]+");

if (match.Success)
{
    yield return new KeyValuePair<string, string>(
        file, match.Groups[1].Value //This is empty for 2nd scenario
    );
}

Answer 1

Try this one:

"[^"]+"|[\w]+

This will return a list of matches, of the individual words AND the entire expression between quotes.
