Hi

Not sure if this is the best way to do this but it seems to work OK:

// find starting point i.e where the cursor is.
int currentPosition = textArea.getCaretPosition();
int startPosition = 0;

// keep going back until we find a quote
do
{
textArea.goToPrevCharacter(false);
}
while((textArea.getCaretPosition() != 0) && !(textArea.getText(textArea.getCaretPosition(), 1).equals("\"")));

// if no quote found, move caret back and forget it
if(textArea.getCaretPosition() == 0)
{
textArea.moveCaretPosition(currentPosition);
}
else
{
startPosition = textArea.getCaretPosition() + 1;

// now move forwards to see if we can find a quote.
do
{
textArea.goToNextCharacter(false);
}
while((textArea.getCaretPosition() != buffer.getLength()) &&!(textArea.getText(textArea.getCaretPosition(), 1).equals("\"")));

// no forward matching quote.
if(textArea.getCaretPosition() == buffer.getLength())
{
textArea.moveCaretPosition(currentPosition);
}
else
{
textArea.setSelection(new Selection.Range(startPosition, textArea.getCaretPosition()));
}

textArea.moveCaretPosition(currentPosition);
}
