javascript regex to select quoted string but not escape quotes

Question

Original string:

some text \"some \\\"string\\\"right here \"

Want to get:

\"some \\\"string\\\"right here\"

Answer 1

You can use this regex :

/[^\\](\".*?[^\\]\")/g

[^\\] catch any caracter diferent of \. So \" will not be catch as start or end of your match.
