I am trying to learn more about regular expressions as I haven't used them
much in the past. I am working with email, and I'm looking for a way to
split the following expression up:

Content-Type: text/plain; boundary="whatever";

Using   "/^(\S+)\:\s*(.+)$/iU"   I can split it into:

[Content-Type] and [text/plain; boundary="whatever";]

Problem is, it might have different tags. Here's a sketch of the whole
thing:

[Header Name a-zA-Z0-9] [\s*] [:] [\s*] [ Header value a-zA-Z0-9/_ ] [\s*]
[;] [ unlimited repeating pattern of ( [Property Name a-zA-Z0-9] [\s*] [=]
[\s*] ( string optionally surrounded by quotes - but necessary if value has
spaces - but can't include quotes ) [\s*] [;] ) ]

So, if I had:

User: JohnDoe; age=32; nickname="Billy 'the' Kid"; haircolor=orange;

I would need:

User - "JohnDoe" - age - "32" - nickname - "Billy 'the' Kid" - haircolor -
"orange"

in the outputted array. I have no idea how to do repeating patterns like
this...maybe I'm making this too complex?

Thanks for your help!

Lewis
