Pickup sentences between two string by regular expression in iOS

Question

I have the following sentence:

distributed over a considerable extent; "far-flung trading operations"; "the West's far-flung mountain ranges"; "widespread nuclear fallout"

What I want is to pickup the sentence between "**********";

My regular expression is \"(.+)", but the result is not what I want(only 1 match)

enter image description here

Any suggestion? Thanks

May this will work.

 /\"(.+?)\"/g

I'm not sure that you need to escape quotes so this maybe just fine too.

 /"(.+?)"/g

Yes, it works. The **\ "[\S\s]*?"** works too. Thanks – Bagusflyer Aug 28 '14 at 01:15
Good. Just bear in mind `\ "[\S\s]*?"` is less specific and may result in unintended matched. – roydukkey Aug 28 '14 at 01:19

it's better to use this `"([^"]*)"` – Avinash Raj Aug 28 '14 at 01:25
