Regex Help

I'm working on a script where you enter a command then a username then a 3rd arguement (in this case a hex code).

 

This works:

 

$message = "/color Hood15 000";
if (ereg ("^/(ban|color|invisible) (.*) (.*)", $message, $cmd))

 

But I want the username and the 3rd argument to have quotes around them (single or double I really don't care at this point). Such as 

 

$message = "/color 'Hood15' '000'";

 

I assumed this regex would work but it doesn't.

 

if (ereg ("^/(ban|color|invisible) '(.*)' '(.*)'", $message, $cmd))

 

I've tried several other variations such as ['(.*)'] and other stuff too but I just can't get it to work.

Do you want the INPUT to have quotes or the OUTPUT?

If it is the output, that would be pretty straightforward and not part of the regex.

If it is the input, you could make it something like:

eregi ("^/(ban|color|invisible) ('[a-z0-9_-]') ('[a-z0-9]')", $message, $cmd

Using eregi so it ignores case.

It's the INPUT we are trying to do. Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't work.

Thanks, I got it working now .
