I have found several cases where I, inadvertantly, get a split conversation. One paragraph has the opening quote and there is a bad paragraph split causing the closing quote to be in a second paragraph. These are proper curly quotes by the way. I have tried “(.*)” with the DOTALL turned on and the search skips these instances. It finds all quote - text - quote sets within a paragraph, but not one that crosses paragraphs. I have searched and searched and can't find a regex example that works. Does anyone have a suggestion?
