I'm trying to create a regex to find a string in Ruby
Str = "Foo"
I want to stop trying to find the string when it gets the closing quotation mark. I also want to put quotation marks so that I can produce that string like:
puts "string is:" + str = & gt; The string is: "foo"
I'm very new to using regular expressions.
Here's the beginning:
/ ". *?" Explanation: "Match a literal double quote. * * Match any letter, as much as possible (non-greedy)" second word Match the double quote
Note that this will not work if the string is hidden citations or cited with single quotes.
