Parsing String

Hello All,

I have a case, wherein I have a string of the format
"attr1=value1 attr2=value2 attr3=value3 attr4=value4"

How do I extract the value associated with for a given attributename. For eg. I need to get a value of "value2" when I give an input for attribute name as "attr2". Note, each attribute values is space seperated and value can contain / or , or - as part of it.

Thanks
Sunil Kumar

NAME
purple-remote - Send remote commands to Pidgin/Finch SYNOPSIS
purple-remote [-command1] [-command2] [-...] DESCRIPTION
Send remote commands to Purple. This program uses DBus to communicate with Pidgin/Finch. OPTIONS
Each command is of one of the three types: [protocol:]commandname?param1=value1=value2&... FunctionName?param1=value1=value2&... FunctionName(value1,value2,...) The second and third form are provided for completeness but their use is not recommended; use purple-send or purple-send-async instead. The second form uses introspection to find out the parameter names and their types, therefore it is rather slow. Here are some examples: jabber:goim?screenname=testone@localhost=hi jabber:gochat?room=TestRoom=conference.localhost jabber:getinfo?screenname=testone@localhost jabber:addbuddy?screenname=my friend setstatus?status=away=don't disturb quit PurpleAccountsFindConnected?name==prpl-jabber PurpleAccountFindConnected(,prpl-jabber) ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWgnome-cd | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Interface stability |Volatile | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
purple-send(1), purple-send-async(1), purple-url-handler(1), attributes(5) purple-remote Manual, http://pidgin.im/ NOTES
