How to split a string by comma ignoring comma in double quotes

Question

This question has been asked before but I have been trying to work a solution in powershell but am not getting the desired results.

$line =          


        

Answer 1

[string].split() method doesn't accept regex on split but just [char[]] or [string[]].

You can try like this:

 $line -split ',(?=(?:[^"]|"[^"]*")*$)' 

powershell -split accept regex for splitting text

Using .net you can do it like this:

[regex]::Split( $line , ',(?=(?:[^"]|"[^"]*")*$)' )
