Hi, all.

I have a problem building a regular expression for fields in a SQL UPDATE
statement. The SET clause has the format as follows:

field1 = 'value of field1', field2 = 'field\' 2 value'

I have built a regular expression that can split the name of fields from its
values. But when a value has an escaped single-quote the regular expression
fails...

This should work:

/\(\w\+\)\s*=\s*\(\(\\'\|[^']\)*\)'

1. You need to escape the +, (, ), | metacharacters

2. The value part is 0 or more \' or [^'] sequences
