I have a scenario outline table that looks like the following:

Scenario Outline: Verify Full ad details
    Given I am on the xxx classified home page
    And I have entered <headline> in the search field & clicked on search
    When I click on full details
    Then I should see <headline> <year> <mileage> <price> displaying correctly and successfully

    Examples:
    |headline               |year   |mileage    |price      |
    |alfa romeo 166         |2005   |73,000     |6,990      |

When I run my scenario it spits out that I have 6 args. But what I thought, I should only have 4 args: headline, year, mileage and price. I am thinking that it is taking the comma's and what is before and after it as two seperate args.

Is there any way that I can make cucumber think that there are only 4 args with the example below?

I have looked at messing around with regex but I dont seem to be getting anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
