Hi, I have a string that looks like below (please disregard that it is not a correct tag). I am trying to figure out a way to tokenize it. The tokens for this example would be 
<a style='postion: top;   font:roman' href=hi.html href='bold' src=" i
+mage" />

token 1 = a
token 2 = style='postion: top; font:roman'
token 3 = href=hi.html
token 4 = href='bold'
token 5 = src=" image"
token 6 = /

It is basically white spaces delimited unless it has a quote. I thought about using HTML::TokeParse to get the attributes out, but I am trying to avoid installing the pm on several hundred ws. Is there a quick and dirty way to get this string tokenized? Thanks --------------------- After looking through all the comment, I decided to go with installing the pm. It makes more sense to pay for the package installation than dealing with maintaining the regexp. Thanks for the replies
