So i have a string

s = '"Never you mind what it is!" the guard retorted. "What are you?"'

I want to split it into 2 different quotes

s1 = '"Never you mind what it is!" the guard retorted.'
s2 = '"What are you"'

It needs to split the string before the 3rd ' " '

Is it always 3rd occurence? – Anand S Kumar Aug 12 '15 at 01:52
