Thanks for the ideas. Yeah, I was hoping to grab just the captures and delete everything else. So, the starting text would be:
code:
adsfkjla"ORDER=PIZZA"djiasdf
nznjvzzajdf"ORDER=COKE"jaidjfa
nzxncvjzx"ORDER=CAKE"jadsmfa
and the ideal result would be the current buffer, or new buffer, containing
code:
PIZZA
COKE
CAKE

A week late and a buck short, but wouldn't
code:
%s/.*ORDER=\([^"]\+\).*/\1
work just fine? This would update the current buffer, which you said would be the ideal solution.
