Take a look about String.scan, be careful the grouping.
Here is my suggestion ( I am sure someone will have better solution), but at least, it works.
 
Example:
 
str = <<EOF
foo "foobar"
bar "foo" "bar";
fob "foo \"bar\"";
EOF
 
str.each_line{ |line|
  p line.scan(/"(?:[^"]|\\")+"/).collect! {|e| e.sub!(/^"(.*)"$/, '\1')}
}

The first regexp, take out the grouping by using (?: ... )
The sub! take out the begin and end quote.
