expression help

[Destramic]

hey guys ive been using this regual expression for my configuration files to get the variable and value ie.

 

db_username = blah

db_password  = blah

 

but im in need of some help on the regular expression so that the value can be any character instead of just A-Za-z0-9_.:\/

 

this is what im using at the moment

'/([A-Za-z0-9_]+) += +([A-Za-z0-9_.:\/]+)/'

ive tried altering it to

'/([A-Za-z0-9_]+) += +(.*)/'

but doesnt seem to work at all

 

any help would be truly greatful...thank you guys

Is that INI file syntax? How about using something that already exists?

 

.* would be right. How is it not working?
