I just went cross-eyed looking at your regex, so I'm sorry I can't help you
there (I really need to get a regex book to read), but I know at least in
PHP you can create k:v pairs like this:

preg_match('/(?P<foo>.*)/', 'bar', $matches);
echo $matches['foo'];
// outputs: bar

I'm not sure if that helps or if its a mile off but good luck :)

I'm working on a regular expression to do syntax highlighting and I just
ran
into a problem.

The regular expression below works on just about everything except nested
parentheses:


(</*cf\w+)\s*((?:\w+\s*?)|(?:\w+\s*=\s*["'][^"']*["']\s*?)|(?:\w+\([^)]+\)))*(/*>)

Will match:

<cfif isDefined('form.fieldnames')>

<cfheader name="Content-Type" value="text/xml">

<cfcontent type="text/xml" reset="yes">

<cfset lacking = "">

<cfloop list="#form.fieldnames#" index="i">

<cfif not listLen(lacking)>

but not

<cfif not isNumeric(evaluate(i))>


I'm not sure what to do about nested parens because nested functions can
get
pretty complex :/  Any thoughts?

This is the block that is supposed to deal with those:  (?:\w+\([^)]+\))

Oh yeah, and is there any way to make the 2 key/value pairs in the
following
tag show up as separate matches?  At the moment, the index="i" capture
overwrites the first pair.  Or do I just need to loop over an exec to
handle
those separately?

<cfloop list="#form.fieldnames#" index="i">
