Guys, I missed this one... Thank you for your replies... I'll check out the
code and see what works. I did end up writing a string parser but I'm now
curious to see how RegEx stands up to the task.
Cheers,
Nick

Ouch,
Nick,
I think this satisfies your conditions. There is a for-loop but it's not
iterating over the entire string, which, I'm certain, is what you wanted to

var myString:String = 'flex action script parse string function';
var resultArr:Array = regExpDQ(myString, false);
Sorry to chum in :)
var re:RegExp = /((|').*(?=\2)\2)|(\s[^\s]+(?!\s))/g;
var text:String = ![CDATA[Lacrimosa dies illa,
qua resurget ex favilla
iudicandus homo reus.
Huic ergo parce, Deus:
Pie Iesu Domine,

var result:Object;
while (result = re.exec(text))

Ouch, actually, it has a flaw, but I'm not sure you need a fix for that, but
it's possible to fix it, if you want. It only checks for the double quotes,
when it checks for the non-quoted words, but it checks for both single and
double quoted groups of words. If you need both single and double
