需要Regex帮助，以排除“

Question

I need to split a String based on comma as seperator, but if the part of string is enclosed with " the splitting has to stop for that portion from starting of " to ending of it even it contains commas in between.

Can anyone please help me to solve this using regex with look around.

Answer 1

Resurrecting this question because it had a simple regex solution that wasn't mentioned. This situation sounds very similar to ["regex-match a pattern unless..."][4]

\"[^\"]*\"|(,)

The left side of the alternation matches complete double-quoted strings. We will ignore these matches. The right side matches and captures commas to Group 1, and we know they are the right ones because they were not matched by the expression on the left.

Here is working code (see online demo ):

import java.util.regex.*;
import java.util.List;

class Program {
    public static void main (String[] args) {

        String subject = "\"Messages,Hello\",World,Hobbies,Java\",Programming\"";
        Pattern regex = Pattern.compile("\"[^\"]*\"|(,)");
        Matcher m = regex.matcher(subject);
        StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer();
        while (m.find()) {
            if(m.group(1) != null) m.appendReplacement(b, "SplitHere");
            else m.appendReplacement(b, m.group(0));
        }
        m.appendTail(b);
        String replaced = b.toString();
        String[] splits = replaced.split("SplitHere");
        for (String split : splits)
            System.out.println(split);
    } // end main
} // end Program

Answer 2

Please try this:

---

(?<!\\G\\s*"[^"]*),

---

If you put this regex in your program, it should be:

String regex = "(?<!\\\\G\\\\s*\\"[^\\"]*),";

---

But 2 things are not clear:

1. Does the " only start near the , , or it can start in the middle of content, such as AAA, BB"CC,DD" ? The regex above only deal with start neer , .

2. If the content has " itself, how to escape? use "" or \\" ? The regex above does not deal any escaped " format.
