Hi.

How about /^['"](.+)['"]$/.
It will match a single or double quotation mark at the start of the line,
followed by one or more of any character, followed by a single or double
quotation mark at the end of the line.

Please note that it will match things like "'" (a single quotation mark
inside double quotes) and ''' (a single quotation mark inside single
quotes). You might want to handle such cases or come up with a better
regexp.

BTW, Rubular[1] is a great tool for editing and testing regular expressions.
