Here is some sample code.. You must escape all quotes since they are
a CF string.
So the first REReplace replaces everything between two quote marks.
So: This is some string "In quotes" :)
Becomes: This is some string "My New Quote!!" :)
The second regular expression will yield: This is some string **In quotes**
:)
You did everything right except you are dealing with a ColdFusion string and
to escape a double quote in a coldfusion string you must put two of them.
A backslash will not really work sinec that will give you an error.

<CFSET strFoo = "This is some string ""In quotes"" :)">
<CFOUTPUT>#strFoo#<BR></CFOUTPUT>
<CFSET strFoo = REReplace(strFoo, """[^""]*""", """My New Quote!!""")>
<CFOUTPUT>#strFoo#<BR></CFOUTPUT>
<CFSET strFoo = "This is some string ""In quotes"" :)">
<CFSET strFoo = REReplace(strFoo, """", "**", "ALL")>
<CFOUTPUT>#strFoo#<BR></CFOUTPUT>
