Ah, of course, right...  Yet, won't yours -- id:\"[^ ]+\" -- match too
much in this example:

    Bla, bla, see id:"some at thing"--"some famous quote" is bla.

How about this one?  id:\(\"?\)[^[:space:]"]+\1

Test:

  id:some at thing "something"
  id:"some at thing"--"something"
  id:"some at thing"--something
  id:some at thing "something else"
  id:"some at thing"--"something else"
  id:"some at thing"--something else
  id:some at thing
  id:"some at thing"


Grüße,
 Thomas
