The solution: `pattern:/"(\\.|[^"\\])*"/g`. Step by step: - First we look for an opening quote `pattern:"` - Then if we have a backslash `pattern:\\` (we technically have to double it in the pattern, because it is a special character, so that's a single backslash in fact), then any character is fine after it (a dot). - Otherwise we take any character except a quote (that would mean the end of the string) and a backslash (to prevent lonely backslashes, the backslash is only used with some other symbol after it): `pattern:[^"\\]` - ...And so on till the closing quote. In action: ```js run let reg = /"(\\.|[^"\\])*"/g; let str = ' .. "test me" .. "Say \\"Hello\\"!" .. "\\\\ \\"" .. '; alert( str.match(reg) ); // "test me","Say \"Hello\"!","\\ \"" ```
