parser = str('"') >>
(
str('\\') >> any |
str('"').absent? >> any
).repeat.as(:string) >>
str('"')
# Parse the string and capture parts of the interpretation (:string above)
tree = parser.parse('"This is a \\"String\\" in which you can escape stuff"')

# Here's how you can grab results from that tree:

end
