Well, you could try the "extract($string,"Component=([^;]+);") form and
see if that works -- this should mean "grab everything that is not a
semicolon".

	To All: 
	
	I have the following string coming in - 
	
	$string = OperationallyDown::Component=PORT-SWA20FL01/5.26
[marc];Type=ETHERNETCSMACD;OperStatus=DOWN;InterfaceCode=CODEUNKNOWN;Dup
lexMode=FULLDUPLEX;AdminStatus=UP;LastChangedAt=04-Sep-2007 1:06:44
PM;IsFlapping=false;MaxSpeed=100000000;Mode=NORMAL 
	
	
	I am trying to extract the string "Operationally Down" and all
text after the Component= up to the 1st semi-colon.  The text string
after that can change - i.e. in the example above it is Type= but it can
be anything else and I am only looking for only the component portion.
My extract regular expression is - 
	
	$category = (extract ($string, "^(.*)\:\:Component=.*\;") 
	$component = (extract ($string,
"^.*\:\:Component=(.*)\;[a-zA-Z]+=.*\;") 
	
	I have also tried - $component = (extract ($string,
"^.*\:\:Component=(.*)\;") 
	
	The $category works fine, but the $component grabs everything
after Component=. 
	
	What am I doing wrong? 
	
	Thanks,
