First of all, are you sure regex is the way to go here? It looks awfully=
=

like a parser should be involved...

And while it's perfectly doable to create a regex for it, why not apply =
=

KISS and:

if(preg_match('/\bnew wBug\s*\(\s*(.+)\s*\);/i', $code, $arrMatches)){
$results =3D $explode(',',arrMatches);
array_walk($results,'trim');
}
It's a LOT easier to maintain then a regex...
