A regex to match a comma that isn't surrounded by quotes.
- by Rayne
I'm using Clojure, so this is in the context of Java regexes.
Here is an example string:
"{:a "ab,cd, efg", :b "ab,def, egf,", :c "Conjecture"}"
The important bits are the commas after each string. I'd like to be able to replace them with newline characters with Java's replaceAll method. A regex that will match any comma that is not surrounded by quotes will do.
If I'm not coming across well, please ask and I'll be happily to clarify anything.
edit: sorry for the confusion in the title. I haven't been awake very long.
String: {:a "ab, cd efg",} <-- In this example, the comma at the end would be matched, but the ones inside the quote would not.
