Hey monks!

Oops. I asked the question amazingly poorly. I'm reading many lines in a text file of the format below. There is no convenience of CASE from which I can pluck. The constant that I can parse with is the positioning of the words that I capitalized for demo purposes. I'm thinking I have to say, "give me the characters between the third \ and the ", assming you just read thru the text "add vdisk", or something like that. Oh great, I just asked another question amazingly poorly...

add vdisk "\v disks\type 1\VDNAME" disk_group="\d gs\DISKGRP1" size=50 +0 ...

Thanks

Edit: g0n - Original content follows for context:

what's the best way to extract the CAPITAL text from the line below into variables ?

add vdisk "\v disks\type 1\VDNAME" disk_group="\d gs\DISKGRP1 size=500 ...

Thanks
