Just broke a personal record for regular expression length

Need to document this for sure!

This regex: [a-zA-Z:._]*\s*=\s*"[ 0-9a-zA-Z\+-/*_[mod]]*"|[a-zA-Z:._]*\s*=\s*[0-9a-zA-Z\+-/*_[mod]]*|=

This regex with parse attributes from the string below:

band=header alignment="2" text="Last Updated Date"border="6" color="0" x="1518" y="12" height="56" width="425"  hidesnaked=1  font.face="Arial" font.height="-8" font.weight="400"  font.family="2" font.pitch="2" font.charset="0" background.mode="2" background.color="79741120"

to:

band=header
alignment="2"
text="Last Updated Date"
etc...
