正则表达式匹配“”之间的任何内容

Question

Please can you help me about this:

consider the following line:

"Duplicate entry 'blah@gmail.com' for key 'email'"

I need a regex that matches any thing between ' ' incloding white spaces, new lines, and also any ' character between ' '

the code im using is: (Python)

value = "Duplicate entry 'blah@gmail.com' for key 'email'"
dict = re.findall(r'regex goes here', value)
print dict[0]
print dict[1]

i need to print:

blah@gmail.com

email

Answer 1

>>> m = re.match("Duplicate entry '(?P<value>.*)' for key '(?P<key>.*)'", "Duplicate entry 'blah@gmail.com' for key 'email'")
>>> m.group('value')
'blah@gmail.com'
>>> m.group('key')
'email'

Answer 2

string = "Duplicate entry 'blah@gmail.com' for key 'email'"
pattern = re.compile("'[^']*'")
matches = pattern.findall(string)
# matches == ["'blah@gmail.com'", "'email'"]

If you want to force the quotes to have at least one character in them:

pattern = re.compile("'[^']+')
