That regular expression is way too posessive. Think about how that would parse 1,"foo",2,"bar, joy",3,3.14,pi,π Correct regular expressions have been posted in this thead, but when dealing with real CSV data (what about embedded newlines?), you will most likely end up with failure eventually when sticking to split or regular expressions. Please seriously consider using Text::CSV_XS or Text::CSV (which will use Text::CSV_XS when installed) and be done with it. Another thing seldom considered by US users is that the "." in those "values" is locale dependent. Consider what will happen if 3623494.92 is printed as 3,623,494.92 or printed/exported in Dutch local using both radix sep and triad sep from the locale. It will export as "3.623.494,92". Oh, the horror in "fixing" all those regular expressions :) Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn In reply to Re^2: split string by comma
