I  have a regex in Java to extract out  double-quoted text .

Regex in Java : (\"\"|\"[\\s\\S]*?[^\\\\]\") 

Input can be any String - .

But there can be cases where strings are : like  

 

 

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Monaco}span.s1 {text-decoration: underline}

private Regex path = new Regex(@"(?<!\S)(?<path>(http://|https://|hg://).+?)(\s+hg|\s*\-\-|[\""\t\r\n]|$)", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase); 

private  Regex command = new Regex(@"(^clone$| clone$| clone |^clone )", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

 private  Regex username = new Regex(@"--username[\s]+([^\s\""]+|\""[^\""]*\"")", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

private  Regex passwd= new Regex(@"--password[\s]+([^\s\""]+|\""[^\""]*\"")", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase); 

private  Regex error = new Regex("(?:file '(?<file>.*?)')|(?:Directory '(<file>.*?)')", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase); 

 

Now these are all-valid strings (or can say regexs ) in C# but if i feed these to my Java program ,it doesnt extract out double quotes well because of  \"" in all strings.

if  i replace  it with "" everything is fine.

But i cannt change the input coming from different sources.I want my Java regex to handle this.

I know there can be many such cases to break the code.(if input can be from multiple sources,languages)but  atleast i know this one to handle.

 

So please suggest me the addition to my regex to handle such cases.
