LMS prefs are in two parts - the name of the pref and the value. The
value is usually a string with no blanks (e.g. a number or a
directorypath) but if there is a space or quotes in the strings then
the value must be quoted. There are rules for single vs double quotes
- you have a simple requirement so stick to single quotes at beginning
and end and make sure you have no other single quotes. No point making
life too complicated.

For that you need either a complex "regular expression" or simplify your
problem - I'd simplify your problem as REs can be difficult to debug.
REs have a special syntax of their own with 12 characters / ? @ * + { }
( ) | ^ $ which do special things and some opther characters have other
uses.
If you want to use really REs - study - a single post will not answer
the question - it'll just lead to more questions.
My advice - change the problem.
