替换引号但保持英寸

Question

I have text like: Senkatel Maximus 10.1" "White"

I would like to strip the quotes but keep the quote in the inch specification 10.1"

I tried using regex but it does not support variable length negative lookaheads

This: Senkatel Maximus 10.1" "White"

Should become: Senkatel Maximus 10.1" White

I need it as a general solution to stripping quotes without killing the inches in the text, so things like Senkatel Maximus 10.1" "Moonlight blue" and "Senkatel Maximus 10.1"" should also work if possible.

Answer 1

I think you might try this one:

"(\S(?:\s(?:\d+(?:\.\d+)?)"|[^"])+\S)"

and replace with $1.

I tested it on some of the samples lying about. regex101 demo.

EDIT:

If you have to remove quotes from strings like Dims: A" x B" as well (i.e. only numbers followed by double quotes have to be kept, unless in situations like "Film: 300", then you can use a regex a bit like SmokeyPHP's and adding a part I made above to give this:

(^|[^0-9])"((\b\d+(?:\.\d+)?"|[^"])+)"

Some samples have been tested here. (Note the were added on the demo because the regex was being tested on several strings and can be removed when testing on a string by string basis).
