A quoteState returns a quoted string token from a scanner.
Description
The GenericQuoteState allows you to create a quoteState that returns a quoted string token from a scanner.
Important points
- This state will collect characters until it sees a match to the character that the tokenizer used to switch to this state.
- For example, if a tokenizer uses a double-quote character to enter this state, then nextToken() will search for another double-quote until it finds one or finds the end of the scanner.
