Regex: C# extract text within double quotes

I want to extract only those words within double quotes. So, if the content is:

Would "you" like to have responses to your "questions" sent to you via email?

The answer must be

1. you
2. questions

Try this regex:

\"[^\"]*\"

or

\".*?\"

explain :

[^ character_group ]

Negation: Matches any single character that is not in character_group.

*?

Matches the previous element zero or more times, but as few times as possible.

and a sample code:

foreach(Match match in Regex.Matches(inputString, "\"([^\"]*)\""))
    Console.WriteLine(match.ToString());

//or in LINQ
var result = from Match match in Regex.Matches(line, "\"([^\"]*)\"") 
             select match.ToString();

Based on @Ria 's answer:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    string str = "Would \"you\" like to have responses to your \"questions\" sent to you via email?";
    var reg = new Regex("\".*?\"");
    var matches = reg.Matches(str);
    foreach (var item in matches)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(item.ToString());
    }
}

The output is:

"you"
"questions"

You can use string.TrimStart() and string.TrimEnd() to remove double quotes if you don't want it.

I like the regex solutions. You could also think of something like this

string str = "Would \"you\" like to have responses to your \"questions\" sent to you via email?";
var stringArray = str.Split('"');

Then take the odd elements from the array. If you use linq, you can do it like this:

var stringArray = str.Split('"').Where((item, index) => index % 2 != 0);

This also steals the Regex from @Ria, but allows you to get them into an array where you then remove the quotes:

strText = "Would \"you\" like to have responses to your \"questions\" sent to you via email?";
MatchCollection mc = Regex.Matches(strText, "\"([^\"]*)\"");
for (int z=0; z < mc.Count; z++)
{
    Response.Write(mc[z].ToString().Replace("\"", ""));
}

I combine Regex and Trim:

const string searchString = "This is a \"search text\" and \"another text\" and not \"this text";
var collection = Regex.Matches(searchString, "\\\"(.*?)\\\"");
foreach (var item in collection)
{
    Console.WriteLine(item.ToString().Trim('"'));
}

Result:

search text
another text
