Title: Slight extension

An extension onto this to handle attribute cases with or without quotes (could be made more robust on the \w and I'm sure compressed a bit): [\s\t]+\w[\s\t]*=[\s\t]*((\"((?:(?:(?:(?:(?:\\\W)*\\\W)*[^"]*)\\\W)*)[^\">]*))|((?:(?:(?:(?:(?:\\\W)*\\\W)*[^"]*)\\\W)*)[^\"\s\t/>]*)) Works well for extracting even poorly formed attributes inluding cases like: <img src="some value/> <img src=something/> <img src="someting \"with escaped items\"\s"/> Hope this is helpful to someone.
