This isn't really a solution to your problem... just a hint of what's
wrong; a quote is also a character... i.e. in the expression (.*) will
also match a quote.
What you want to look into is negative lookarounds; (?<!x)y matches an
'y' not preceeded by a 'x' and x(?!y) matches a 'x' not followed by an
'y'.
But if you're not a regexp-ninja I'd recommend you to find an easier
solution... negative lookarounds aint trivial.
