I need to split a string like this, on semicolons. But I don't what to split on semicolons that are inside of a string (' or "). I'm not parsing a file; just a simple string with no line breaks.
part 1;"this is ; part 2;";'this is ; part 3';part 4
Result should be:
- part 1
- "this is ; part 2"
- 'this is ; part 4'
- part 4
I suppose this can be done with a regex...
