Split string delimited by comma without respect to commas in brackets

Question

I\'ve got a string like

s=\"abc, 3rncd (23uh, sdfuh), 32h(q23q)89 (as), dwe8h, edt (1,wer,345,rtz,tr t), nope\";

and I want to split it int

Answer 1

Assuming ( and ) are not nested and unescaped. You can use split using:

String[] arr = input.split(",(?![^()]*\\))\\s*");

RegEx Demo

,(?![^()]*\)) will match a comma if it is NOT followed by a non-parentheses text and ), thus ignoring commas inside ( and ).
