Re^3: Is there any regex limitation?

You can't use split to parse CSV records—at least not the general form of CSV records represented in benlaw's example. It won't work.

Actually yes you can

Using split as I've shown is as-good as benlaws intended solution, with the benefit of no backtracking

But its a solved problem, so Text::CSV or Text::xSV

You said: Actually yes you can. Using split... I defy you to correctly parse the OPs two sample records using split only. And if you can't, which you won't, then you were talking shite.	[reply]
