[Grammatica-users] Question about regular expressions involving quoted strings

[Andrew Smellie]

Hi

 

I am trying to write a regular _expression_ that will parse a quoted string

 

This is what I have so far:     QUOTEDSTRING = <<"([^"]|"")*+">>

 

How can I modify this to allow double quotes inside the quoted string, perhaps denoted by an escape character? An example of such a string might be:

 

"\"a quoted string\"" would be parsed to read "a quoted string"

 

As an aside, I cast around for different parser generators and have found grammatica the easiest to use!

 

Thanks

 

Andrew
