Hi I'm struggling with some regex
I've got a string like this:
a:b||c:{d:e||f:g}||h:i
basically name value pairings. I want to be able to parse out the pairings so I get:
a:b
c:{d:e||f:g}
h:i
then I can further parse the pairings contained in { } if required It is the nesting that is making me scratch my head. Any regex experts out there that can give me a hand?
thanks,
Rob
