Re: Anything that is not ',' except .... RegEx question

in reply to Anything that is not ',' except .... RegEx question

I declare this to be an XY Problem.

My guess would be that you have some CSV data where the data itself contains commas, and you are tying yourself in knots trying to parse it with a regex.

If that is the case, then I would point you to something like Text::CSV

Hi, if it is really some cvs stuff, I'd also throw DBD::CSV in - it allows for working with csv files by using SQL statements. Quite cool IMHO. Regards, svenXY	[reply]
