Nowhere do you get rid of the commas, so they still appear at the start of the next match, which is a problem: your doublequoted strings will never be recognized after the first match, because of this comma!

Actually, I was having that problem as well, and that explains it nicely. Thanks! I'll give your code a try as well.
