String Tokenizer : split string by comma and ignore comma in double quotes

Question

I have a string like below -

value1, value2, value3, value4, \"value5, 1234\", value6, value7, \"value8\", value9, \"value10, 123.23\"

Answer 1

You can use several approaches:

1. Write code that search for comas and maintain a state weather a particular coma is in quotes or note.
2. Tokenize by double-quote symbol and than tokenize strings in the result array by comma symbol (make sure you tokenize strings with indexes 0, 2, 4, etc., since they were not in double quotes in the original string)
