How about this:
<cfset myString1 = "name=""firstname"" method=">
<cfset myString2 = "name=firstname method=">
<cfoutput>#myString1#<br>#myString2#<br /> </cfoutput>
<cfset foundit1 = ReFindNoCase("(name)(\W+)(\w+)\b",myString1,1,true)>
<cfset foundit2 = ReFindNoCase("(name)(\W+)(\w+)\b",myString2,1,true)>
<cfoutput>
#Mid(myString1,foundit1.pos[4],foundit1.len[4])#<br>
#Mid(myString2,foundit2.pos[4],foundit2.len[4])#<br>
</cfoutput>
I don't know of a way to extract a substring from a regular expression,
but if you use the return subexpressions = true option, you can use
other functions like Mid to extract the desired string from the
original.
