Re^4: split on the pattern of '),('

No it doesn't. The string you give contains "),(" three times, and my regex splits it at all three.

use Test::More tests => 5;

my $string = '(1,"(text),(text)", 123),(2,"(string)", 234),(...)';
my @parts  = split m{ [)] [,] [(] }x, $string;

# Prove that the split worked properly...

# Firstly, joining the parts back with '),(' recreates the original st
+ring.
my $joined = join '),(', @parts;
is($joined, $string);

# Secondly, none of the individual parts contain '),('
unlike($_, qr{\Q),(\E}) for @parts;

For the input I gave, the code you gave produced: `GOT: (1,"(text GOT: text)", 123 GOT: 2,"(string)", 234 GOT: ...)` [download] But surely, it should produce: `GOT: 1,"(text),(text)", 123 GOT: 2,"(string)", 234 GOT: ...` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Your first "GOT" line contains a substring "),(" thus it was not fully split on that substring. `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply]

Yes, and yours did split in the middle of the string.	[reply]
