Hi!
I have string that contains smaller chunks of text, which are wrapped
within double quotes. Example:*
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, "consectetur" adipiscing elit. Donec "suscipit
justo" sit amet sem bibendum "sit amet" porttitor mi pretium.
*I'm looking for a way to add all the chunks in double quotes in a list. So
in this case:
*'("consectetur" "suscipit justo" "sit amet")*
I have created such a function with help of some while loops and whatever
else. But I thought that it could be done with some regex like this *
"\"\\([^\"]+\\)\""* and then fetch the groupings. But it does not work.
How would you solve this?
Thanks!

Here is a simple solution:
(defun parts-in-double-quotes (input)
(loop for sub on (cdr (split-string input "\"")) by (function cddr) collect (car sub)))
(parts-in-double-quotes "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, \"consectetur\" adipiscing elit. Donec \"suscipit justo\" sit amet sem bibendum \"sit amet\" porttitor mi pretium.")
--> ("consectetur" "suscipit justo" "sit amet")

Pascal,
Really cool solution! I have never seen something like it.
Thanks a lot. Tons better than my solution!
