Hello,

How can I split the data in a line by a single whitespace but also keep
portions between quotes together? Here is an example of a line of data I'm
trying to parse:

id=firewall time="2003-10-30 04:15:01" fw=66.74.67.229 pri=5 c=256 m=38
msg="ICMP packet dropped" n=63211 src=1.1.1.1 dst=2.2.2.2

What I would like to do is keep the data between the quotes together despite
the spaces. This is what I'm expecting to get:

Id=firewall
Time="2003-10-30 04:15:01"
Fw=66.74.67.229
Msg="ICMP packet dropped"
...etc

How should I go about doing this? What I have currently is a regex that
splits out the entire line, but certain fields have changed so my original
code doesn't work as well.

Thank you very much!
