用多个定界符分割字符串，并忽略引号中的定界符javascript

Question

I'm trying to write a regular expression to split a string into an array. It must split using a delimiter of a space or comma, and ignore the delimiter inside of quoted phrases (using single or double quotes).

So far I'm able to get it to delimit by space and commas, but I'm unable to get it to ignore them between the quotation marks and I'm lost.

var pattern = /\b\w+[^"', ]+(?!'")/g,
    text = "Hello world \"Boston Red Sox\" hello, world, \'boston, red sox\', \'beached whale\', pickup sticks",
    output = text.match(pattern);

Current output:

["Hello", "world", "Boston", "Red", "Sox", "hello", "world", "boston", "red", "sox", "beached", "whale", "pickup", "sticks"] 

Desired output:

["Hello", "world", "Boston Red Sox", "hello", "world", "boston, red sox", "beached whale", "pickup", "sticks"]

Any help would be great!

Just use |

  var regex = /"([^"]*)"|'([^']*)'|[^\\s,]+/g; var text = "Hello world \\"Boston Red Sox\\" hello, world, \\'boston, red sox\\', \\'beached whale\\', pickup sticks"; var output = []; var m; while ((m = regex.exec(text)) !== null) { output.push(m[1] || m[2] || m[0]); } console.log(output);
