regular expression - matching a string

[yoni@nobhillsoft.com]

Hey
I need the regexp pattern to match a single quoted string. its a bit
tricky since double single quotes in the middle are part of the
string, and we should continue to capture till the next single quote.
an example:

'this is ''all'' one string!'

get it? who can help me?
thanks!
