I need a regular expression for quoted strings

PJ Arends asked:

Open original thread
I recently downloaded some source files that seem to be exactly what I need for a project of mine. The only problem is that it is written for ANSI builds only, it has no UNICODE support.

I now want to change all string literals from "text text" to _T("text text") by wrapping them in the _T macro to make them unicode compliant.

What would be the regular expression that I could use in visual studio's 'Find and Replace' dialog that would change all the strings for me?

I know next to nothing about regular expressions so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
