Thanks for the response.
I didn't know about double-clicking a quote which is great in PHP.
I prefer the AppleScript with grep since it gives far more options
like skipping escaped quotes. I've ended up with the following script:
tell application "BBEdit"
-- search backwards for non-escaped quote character
find "[^\\\\](\"|')" searching in text 1 of text document 1 options
{search mode:grep, starting at top:false, wrap around:false,
backwards:true, case sensitive:false, match words:false, extend
selection:false} with selecting match
set quotePat to "[^\\\\]" & (grep substitution of "\\1")
select insertion point after selection
set theStart to characterOffset of selection
-- find first appearence of just found quote
find quotePat searching in text 1 of text document 1 options {search
mode:grep, starting at top:false, wrap around:false, backwards:false,
case sensitive:false, match words:false, extend selection:false} with
selecting match
select insertion point before selection
set theEnd to (characterOffset of selection)
-- select string without quotes
select characters theStart through theEnd of text 1 of text document
1
end tell
