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

I know this is old, but this RegEx works for me:

/(\"[^\"]+\")|[^,]+/g

It could be use potentially with any language. I tested it in JavaScript, so the g is just a global modifier. It works even with messed up lines (extra quotes), but empty is not dealt with.

Just sharing, maybe this will help someone.
