SetVariables "a" "b" "c"
How would I extract information between the first set of quotations? Then the second? Then the third?

Gt;>> import re >>> re.findall('"([^"]*)"', 'SetVariables "a" "b" "c" '); ['a', 'b', 'c']
Regular expressions are good at this:
import re quoted = re.compile(r'"[^"]*"') for value in quoted.findall(userInputtedText): print value

Here is my code snippet:

I want to actually replace the "quotations" with the A but the program doesn't seem to recognize the fact...

See http://www.codingforums.com/archive/index.php/t-20709.html
you want to use:
robert = Replace....
So it would be
robert = Replace(robert, """", "A")
Looks like VB, not c++ .
In VB (which is what the code sample is in), the escape character is double quotes .

No regexp solution will work if you have nested quotes, but for your examples this works well
$... .
Grep -o "\"[^\"]*\""
This greps for " + anything except a quote, any number of times + "
The -o makes it only output the matched text, not the whole line .

Why can't you insert strings containing quote marks into your database? Is there some weird data type that permits any character except a quote mark? Or are you building an insert statement with literal strings, rather than binding your strings to query... .

When quoting
<@ 1 + 1 @>
I want "1 + 1"

"Call (None, Int32 op_Addition[Int32,Int32,Int32](Int32, Int32), [Value (1), Value (1)])"

It's a huge topic and you'll find that you'll come upon bigger problems than parsing strings .
For your problem, you could read up on parsing (and lexers) at Wikipedia .
Unless you're doing this for the challenge, have a look at Google Code Prettify .

Use single quotes around the value when you set it, then use double-quotes around the variable when you expand it:
$ arg1='[5111.3$]="5"' $ echo "$arg1" [... .
Try
[5111.3$]=\"5\"
