Regex find/replace string with quoted string

I can find a way to replace a string within quotes but I can not find a way to add quotes to a string with find/replace in notepad++

So I have a .sql file that I copy and pasted a bunch of insert values. The strings are not in quotations like they need to be.

I have the find statement as \s\w{1,} and it works fine for me but if I use "\1" it just replaces with ""

Is there a way to get each string replaced to a string with quotes like STRING replaced to "STRING"

In order to replace your STRING with "STRING" in notepade++, you can try this to put in find area \s(\w{1,}) and this "$1" in replace area.

Hope this helps.
