groovy with regular expression

I try to learn groovy in SoapUI and now I have a problem with a regular expression in groovy.

I try build a regular expression in groovy to parse this text:

[EM6111949VA61=cfefcgjnjcidaiieodmlgfijaiknankpiodhghbagndikijiieicfhiiiojmfcfgjjkokkoilinbkkedcaafplikgjhomkhnopjhfhpjgkadalbkeenengiapjpeaiemokenfckjbeho; path=/bla/bla; secure; HttpOnly]

The result must be:

EM6111949VA61=cfefcgjnjcidaiieodmlgfijaiknankpiodhghbagndikijiieicfhiiiojmfcfgjjkokkoilinbkkedcaafplikgjhomkhnopjhfhpjgkadalbkeenengiapjpeaiemokenfckjbeho

My groovy source-code in SoapUI is:

erg='[EM6111949VA61=cfefcgjnjcidaiieodmlgfijaiknankpiodhghbagndikijiieicfhiiiojmfcfgjjkokkoilinbkkedcaafplikgjhomkhnopjhfhpjgkadalbkeenengiapjpeaiemokenfckjbeho; path=/bla/bla; secure; HttpOnly]'


def muster = /(?<=\[)[\w]+=[\w]+/

(erg ==~ muster).each {
log.info "Muster $it"
}

the log.info result is: Muster false

I try the text with the Expression:: 

(?<=\[)[\w]+=[\w]+ to http://www.regexe.de/

And the result is what I need,

EM6111949VA61=cfefcgjnjcidaiieodmlgfijaiknankpiodhghbagndikijiieicfhiiiojmfcfgjjkokkoilinbkkedcaafplikgjhomkhnopjhfhpjgkadalbkeenengiapjpeaiemokenfckjbeho

What is the correct Syntax in groovy

Thanks a lot for your answers

Your pattern works, but the ==~ operator requires the whole string to match this pattern. Your current regex is equal to /^(?<=\[)[\w]+=[\w]+\z/.

Use =~ that allows partial matches, not ==~ (that requires full string matches).

Note you may write [\w] as \w since \w is the only "atom" in the character class.

See the Groovy demo:

def erg='[EM6111949VA61=cfefcgjnjcidaiieodmlgfijaiknankpiodhghbagndikijiieicfhiiiojmfcfgjjkokkoilinbkkedcaafplikgjhomkhnopjhfhpjgkadalbkeenengiapjpeaiemokenfckjbeho; path=/bla/bla; secure; HttpOnly]'
def regex = /(?<=\[)\w+=\w+/
def muster = erg =~ regex
(0..<muster.count).each { print muster[it] }

Output:

EM6111949VA61=cfefcgjnjcidaiieodmlgfijaiknankpiodhghbagndikijiieicfhiiiojmfcfgjjkokkoilinbkkedcaafplikgjhomkhnopjhfhpjgkadalbkeenengiapjpeaiemokenfckjbeho
