Darn thing doing what I told it to do...  Guess that means I did 
something right :)
But it is not what I am wanting. 
I first thought to make it look for a space but that would not work when 
a single character like "#" is to be colored if there is a "string" of 
them.  Or if all of the characters between quotes are to be colored. 

I always did like puzzles!
