CF Regex REFind() substring without quotes - regex

Question

My CF backend has to read through a CFM file as if it was a TEXT file to extract the names and values of different parameters, the data looks like this :
request.config.MY_PARAM_1 = 'ABCDEFGHI';
request.config.MY_PARAM_2 = "BlaBlaBla";
request.config.MY_PARAM_3 = TRUE;
request.config.MY_PARAM_4 = 'true';
request.config.MY_PARAM_5 = "1337";
request.config.MY_PARAM_6 = 1337;
As you can see, I can have STRINGS which can be SINGLE or DOUBLE quoted.
I also have BOOLEANS and NUMBERS which usually are without quotes, but that can also have (single or double).
I am "parsing" the file and extracting the values, I want to find a pattern that would return the matches like this :
request.config.MY_PARAM_2 = "BlaBlaBla";
I am VERY close to succeeding, but unfortunately the following expression cannot get rid of the closing quote.
<cfset match = REFind("^request\.config\.(\S+) = ['|""]?(.*)['|""]?;$", str, 1, "Yes")>
<cfset paramVal = Mid( str, match.pos[3], match.len[3] ) >
<cfdump var=#paramVal# >
For example, it returns BlaBlaBla", it has successfully omitted the opening quote, but not the last one, what am I doing wrong?

From your comments, it sounds like you're saying that you want to parse two ARBITRARY lines. This will do it:
^(?:[^\n]*\n){1}request\.config.(\w+)\s*=\s*(['"]?)(\w+)\2;(?:[^\n]*\n){4}request\.config.(\w+)\s*=\s*(['"]?)(\w+)\5;
In your code, just change the two numbers in the quantifiers: {1} and {4} as they specify how many lines to skip at the top and in the middle. For line 1, for instance you would have {0} in the first quantifier.
The data you want is in Groups 1, 3, 4 and 5. Please see the capture groups in the lower right panel of this demo
I am sure you will have no trouble building the regex in code by concatenating the pieces:
method Parse(x,y)
Build the regex by concatenating
^(?:[^\n]*\n){
With
x-1
With
}request\.config.(\w+)\s*=\s*(['"]?)(\w+)\2;(?:[^\n]*\n){
With
y-x
With
}request\.config.(\w+)\s*=\s*(['"]?)(\w+)\5;
Then match and retrieve Groups 1, 3, 4 and 5
Also see this visualization which makes it quite clear.
