Regular Expression help….

[htiek]

I seem to be pretty bad at this regex stuff I’ve been trying this for ages and I know the answer will probably be real simple.

I need to match anything that appears inside of “”, for example

$string = "Hello I’m a \“dumb string\” and I would just \“like to, well, not be\” dumb";

i.e. match the

dumb string
like to, well, not be

parts of the string

I’ve been using /"[a-z|A-Z]*\s"/ which matches a “ character followed by a word and then a space, but I’m having no luck matching any number of words/characters and then a “ character…..

How how how ;(

$string = 'Hello I\\'m a "dumb string" and I would just "like to, well, not be" dumb.';
preg_match_all("/\"([^\"]+)\"/", $string, $matches);
echo "<p>matches: <br />".$matches[1][0]."<br />".$matches[1][1]."</p>";
