man regex - even the POSIX explanation, after reading it through a few
times, will help you understand the basics of regular expressions enough to
form a regex capable of doing this. Oddly enough, I also found the PHP
documentation on Perl Regular Expressions to be very good, which should also
help understand them.
With spaces as your delimiters, it's as simple as "([^\s]+)(\s.*)?". You'll
want to "trim" the second variable since it will have a leading space on it.
Oh, and that's a Perl regex (use of \s to denote spaces).
