Is your data actually split over multiple lines? Or is it just
wrapping in the email?
The problem, I think, is in your second set of parentheses. You search
for "," followed by 0 or more word characters, then a colon. That
pattern does not appear in your search string.
Also, that .* between your two sets seems a little odd. It will match
everything between your first and second matches. But perhaps that's
what you want.
This successfully matches your string...maybe it will help you?
var pattern:RegExp = new RegExp('(\"name\":\").*(\",\"[a-zA-Z]*
\":)','i');
This matches "name":" and ","id":
Generally speaking, I find the easiest thing to do with regexps is to
make them smaller and get the smaller ones working first then string
them together.

var resultArr:Array = pattern.exec(data);
resultArr ends up equaling null;
But if you check this: (?<=\"name\":\").*(?=\",\"\w*:) using
http://gskinner.com/RegExr/ it says it works using this data
"error":32,"count":47,"group":true,"connection":39,"warning":
3
,"name
":"Workstations
","title":"Workstations","model":"workstation","ticket":
1,"type":"TagCategory","id":1
So why is it not working in my code? If anyone has any suggestions I
would appreciate it. I have been trying to get this to work for 10
hours straight.
TIA
