Regular expression to match CSV delimiters

Question

I\'m trying to create a PCRE that will match only the commas used as delimiters in a line from a CSV file. Assuming the format of a line is this:

1,\"abcd\",         


        

Answer 1

See my post that solves this problem for more detail.

^(?:(?:"((?:""|[^"])+)"|([^,]*))(?:$|,))+$ Will match the whole line, then you can use match.Groups[1 ].Captures to get your data out (without the quotes). Also, I let "My name is ""in quotes""" be a valid string.
