I use a Regex to translate the quote mark that Noteworthy creates

Hmm. I'd guess that need 2^n for each character, where n will be
0, 1, or 2. So that gives 3, 5, or 9 backslashes.
Do I win?

No. It's 7. My comment to explain this is:
Yes - you really do need all those backslashes. We're looking for a word
starting \" and so to tell the regtest parser to look for that, it needs \\
\" So we need to escape those for the c# text parser, so need \\ \\ \\ \"
