                   QuotedString

Token for matching strings that are delimited by quoting characters.

Defined with the following parameters:

Example:

   qs = QuotedString('"')
   print(qs.searchString('lsjdf "This is the quote" sldjf'))
   complex_qs = QuotedString('{{', endQuoteChar='}}')
   print(complex_qs.searchString('lsjdf {{This is the "quote"}} sldjf'))
   sql_qs = QuotedString('"', escQuote='""')
   print(sql_qs.searchString('lsjdf "This is the quote with ""embedded"" quotes" sldjf'))

prints:

   [['This is the quote']]
   [['This is the "quote"']]
   [['This is the quote with "embedded" quotes']]
