title: Regex help to find all instances…
body: <p>After much googling, I've given up and come here to ask for direct assistance. Here's what I need to do: a search on a certain directory (and all child directories and files) for the following pattern:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>An example in English: <strong>find all strings of text assigned to a PHP variable</strong></li>
  <li>An example from the project: <code>$pageTitle = "Some normal text here";</code></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Since the variable name and the text assigned to it can be anything, I <em>think</em> I want something like this:</p>
  
  <p>"Find all instances of a dollar sign, a single equals sign, single-or-double quotes, and a semi-colon all on a single line"</p>
  
  <p>I <em>think</em> that'll be specific enough to show me all of the instances I need to find. Is that possible via regex?</p>
