Also, as far as speed is concerned Mark Smith's solution is significantly
faster.

And lastly, just so you don't get caught out: Mark Schonewille's may not
provide what you're looking for if there are spaces in your data (very
likely) and Mark Smth's won't work if you have an odd number of quotes in
your data, say a dimension 20' 5".

Ah, the joy of data parsing ;-)
