.NET regex for command line (so close)

I've seen several tutorials on looping through the arg list
and making
a dictionary of commandline options, but I figured it has to
be
possible in a single regex to parse each match in the
commandline and
still allow it to be robust.

this is what I have right now:

(?:[-|/]{1,2}(?<parameter>w+)[=|:|s]+(?:(?<quo
te>["']?)(?
<value>.*?)k<quote>))

This matches the following "comples" command
lines:
--param="value"
-param='value'
/param  : "value 'with subquote'"

but it's having a problem with the simple:
-param value
-param=value
-param: value

I've tried using:
(?:[-|/]{1,2}(?<parameter>w+)[=|:|s]+(?:(?<quo
te>["']?)(?<value>[^
k<quote>]*?)k<quote>))
but the .NET regular expression doesn't understand the named
match
inside the group exclusive [^] brackets...giving the error:
Unrecognized escape sequence k.
