How to match double quote or single quote or unquoted with regular expression?

Question

I am trying to grab sometext from all three types of inputs, but can\'t figure out how to deal with the unquoted case.

So far I have:

name=[\'\"](.         


        

Answer 1

Without knowing what could be after 'name=asdf', assume its whitespace or nothing
that delimits the end.

name= 
(?:
     (['"])((?:(?!\1).)*)\1    # (1,2)
 |   (\S*)                     # (3)
)

Answer is $2 catted with $3
