but you need the pattern to stop matching when the quote
is finished. Perhaps force your pattern to stop matching when it encounters 2 consecutive whitespace characters.
> Quote before a double space!
The ^ in the pattern says that that quotes will only be recognized if the > is at the start of the a line. e.g. This > is not a quote, it is being used as a greater sign.
> End with a quote";
