Re: extract escaped quoted strings

Extract them from what? Without more context, we can't really help... So far a GREEDY pcre with quote on each end fits all the inputs. And *WHY* do you have so many backslashes? Whatever is causing that (MagicQuotes, cough, cough) is your REAL problem. Fix the problem, not the symptom.
