Regex to find a quote within paired double quotes

Question

Please help me with a regex that is enclosed within a pair of double quotes.

Here is the example:

Matching a ' within "double ' quotes" is what i am ' looking for "in this ' question" can ' anybody help

As marked, I need the bold ' to be picked up

Quotes within

are the only ones the regex should identify.

Please reformat your question. – Maroun Dec 18 '14 at 14:29 — Maroun, Dec 18 '14 at 14:29
