Regex: replace anything and inside quotes

Question

I'm trying to do a find/replace with my code editor for the font icons' PUA generated codes. The reason why I ask is because the string contains backspace escape and have no idea how to write it.

Example: content: "\\e034" to be content: .

Thanks for your time

Answer 1

In order to match something between delimiters you do not need to know what is inside. Just leave the job to the negated character class :

content:\s"[^"]*"

The [^"] is a negated character class matching any character other than a double quote.

Replace with content: .
