I have a question about the following regular expression:
I want to match the following string: employee Type="entry" id="mmop" location="somewhere"
using the RE as following:
if {[regexp {id=(".*")} $data -> Id]} {
#do something here
}
but the result I get is "entry" id="mmop" location="somewhere", how to fix it?
Add
?after the*, or replace.with[^"]. The problem is caused by the.*being greedy, grabbing everything it can while still matching the pattern.
