I believe this will do it for double-quote delimited strings. You'll
have to run it multiple times to catch strings that have multiple
hashes in them. Then just flip the double quotes for single quotes
and run it again to get the single-quote delimited strings. It might
not be perfect, but it should give you a place to start.
REreplace(myText, '"([^"]*)##([^"]*")', "\1####\2", "all")
