Regex:

C#:

Regex regex = new Regex(@"\w+|""[\w\s]*""");

Or if you need to exclude ” characters:

    Regex
        .Matches(input, @"(?<match>\w+)|\""(?<match>[\w\s]*)""")
        .Cast<Match>()
        .Select(m => m.Groups["match"].Value)
        .ToList()
        .ForEach(s => Console.WriteLine(s));
