I have a really simple task, write a single regular expression, that would return a string inside quotation marks:
"this is string"
...but also include any escaped quotes:
"this is \" also a string"
Thanks in advance!
First, be sure that regular expressions are what you really want. They have a habit of getting ugly.
But if you are sure, this should do the trick:
"((\\.|[^\\"])*)"
The outer-brackets are only so that you can fetch the content of the string without the quotes. If you don't need that, you can just use "(\\\\.|[^\\\\"])*"
.
To send this to PHP, you can use a string with single quotes (which does no escaping);
'"((\\.|[^\\"])*)"'
or if you must use double-quotes, escape it as needed:
"\"((\\\\.|[^\\\\\"])*)\""
