regex question - quotation marks


Hi,
I'm using a regex like """.*@+.*""" toi match words eclosed by
quotation marks that contain at least one @. It's working except, that
in addition to the mathces I want, I also get stuff like

"first@xxxxxx","third"

, in which case I don't want

,"third"

.. If I could add to the pattern that there can be no more " than the
surrounding ones, I think that'll do it. Anyone know how to do this
please?
