The substring that you're looking for has spaces around the " symbol.
The example inputs that you gave don't have spaces around the "
symbols, so they don't contain the substring.  The triple quotes are
also unnecessary, though harmless -- it's not a multiline string, and
there are no ' symbols to escape in the string. Try replacing the
substring with just this: '"'.
