Techniques:

• State machine parse
• Regex: ""([^"]*)"": matches text wrapped in double quotes and captures what’s inside the quotes.
  • " → a literal double quote "
  • ( ) → capturing group
  • [^"]* → any number of characters that are NOT a double quote
  • [^ … ] = negated character class (“anything except”)
  • *-> zero or more
  • " → another literal double quote Practice Case
