Re: RegEx help

This should do it.  Obviously I'm just doing a basic substitution so you can alter as you need to.

s/"\(John\s\+Travolta\)"\s\+\(samuel\)\s\+\(jackson\)/\1\r\2\r\3/i

The string is (including double quotes) - "John Travolta" Samuel

I want RegEx that searches the above string and treats John Travolta
(between quotes) as one string and Samuel & Jackson as the other 2
string.

Thus,
String 1 = John Travolta
String 2 = Samuel
String 3 = Jackson

Actually, I have to use the RegEx in a function where "space" is a
delimiter and splits a string into sub-strings

TIA
