Note Submitter: Chortos-2 <chortos at inbox dot lv> ---- With respect to escaped backslashes, this pattern would be the one to be used rather than Elwin’s: /[^\\\](\\\\\\\)*["']/ (don’t forget to escape the appropriate quotation mark when using in real code). If escaping backslashes is not allowed, this one should do the thing: /[^\\\]["']/ The pattern supplied by Elwin matches nothing else than *any* apostrophe, quotation mark or exclamation mark. By the way, the double backslash is compiled into a single backslash by the Zend Engine, and then PCRE thinks it’s just escaping the following character, so in the end it’s completely lost.
