How to use regex and split to solve a problem

[PeteClimbs]

I have a string:
"BIDU","Baidu, Inc","4/19/2011",147.28,45.89

When I do a split(",") on the string, the comma inside the double quotes causes an extra unwanted split. Is there a regex pattern that would split the string only at commas which are not inside double quotes. I have no control over the input as it comes from a web service.

Regex cant count, so it cant check if there is an open quote :)

But the String contains only other inner Strings "..." or a double value or?

		String s ="\"BIDU\",\"Baidu, Inc\",\"4/19/2011\",147.28,45.89";
		Matcher m = Pattern.compile("\".*?\"|\\d+\\.\\d+").matcher(s);
		while(m.find()){
			System.out.println(m.group());
		}

-->
"BIDU"
"Baidu, Inc"
"4/19/2011"
147.28
45.89

That code worked. Problem solved.
