 /əv/

Sentence 2 Translated."
"Text 3

Sentence 3!"*"and (3)
 /ænd/

Judging by your example string, you need to get substrings from a " that is the first char on a line up to the first " that ends a line.

If you have the text inside a single variable, say text, you may use

var results = Regex.Matches(text, @"(?sm)^("".*?"")\r?$")
        .Cast<Match>()
        .Select(m => m.Groups[1].Value);

See the regex demo

Pattern details

  • (?sm) - RegexOptions.Singleline and RegexOptions.Multiline are on
  • ^ - start of a line
  • ("".*?"") - Group 1: ", any 0+ chars but as few as possible, and a "
  • \r? - an optional CR (as $ does not match before a CR)
  • $ - end of line.
