Escape comma when using String.split

Question

I\'m trying to perform some super simple parsing o log files, so I\'m using String.split method like this:

String [] parts = input.split(\",\");         


        

Answer 1

I think

input.split("[^\\\\],");

should work. It will split at all commas that are not preceeded with a backslash. BTW if you are working with Eclipse, I can recommend the QuickRex Plugin to test and debug Regexes.
