Answer 1

Since you just want the last sentence I've cleared the regex for you : result

Explanation : First you're looking for something that is between quotes. And if there is multiples quotes successively you want them to match as one.

(\"[^\"]*\"(?: *\"[^\"]*\")*)

Does the trick. Then you want to match the sentence before this group. A sentence is starting with a CAPITAL letter. So we will start the match to the first capital encounter before the previously defined group (ie : not followed by any other CAPITAL letter)

([A-Z](?:[a-z0-9\W\s])*)

Put it togeither and you obtain :

([A-Z](?:[a-z0-9\W\s])*)(\"[^\"]*\"(?: *\"[^\"]*\")*)
