As a quick check, does the original text contain those backslashes? A version without the backslashes looks a little more normal to me: test.FilterPanel.viewId = "136e6c9e-689a-4d24-a3bc-2ace008bee2f" test.FilterPanel.viewId = \"136e6c9e-689a-4d24-a3bc-2ace008bee2f\"
Also, did you add the spacing around the equal sign, or is it definitely there in the original text? A version that should be insensitive to the spacing would be: test\.FilterPanel\.viewId.?=.?"(.+?)"
