Hi Mick,

You could try '<tag k="[^"]*"' to a) accept any character in the attribute value and b) avoid having to escape the " characters.

The first few Google hits suggest that the " character is not legal inside XML attribute values, so this should work for any legal XML, but I wouldn't trust a
"should work" from some random guy on a mailing list without double checking.

Stefan
