Replace comma which is not inside brackets,quotes or paranthesis

Hi All,

I want to replace the commas which are not inside parenthesis,quotes

if input is
Code:
 abc,[def,ghi,ijk],lm,(no,pq,rs),{tu,vw,xy},zs,"as,as,fr",'ab,cd,ef'

output should be
Code:
 abc [def,ghi,ijk] lm (no,pq,rs) {tu,vw,xy} zs "as,as,fr" 'ab,cd,ef'

I tried this str.replaceAll("\\(.*?\\)|(,)", " "); say my string is str, it will replace commas which are not inside ( ) but output will not have content inside ( )

Any help is highly appreciated

Thanks,
Pre

NAME
unifdef - remove ifdef'ed lines SYNOPSIS
unifdef [ -t -l -c -Dsym -Usym -idsym -iusym ] ... [ file ] DESCRIPTION
Unifdef is useful for removing ifdef'ed lines from a file while otherwise leaving the file alone. Unifdef is like a stripped-down C pre- processor: it is smart enough to deal with the nested ifdefs, comments, single and double quotes of C syntax so that it can do its job, but it doesn't do any including or interpretation of macros. Neither does it strip out comments, though it recognizes and ignores them. You specify which symbols you want defined -Dsym or undefined -Usym and the lines inside those ifdefs will be copied to the output or removed as appropriate. The ifdef, ifndef, else, and endif lines associated with sym will also be removed. Ifdefs involving symbols you don't specify are untouched and copied out along with their associated ifdef, else, and endif lines. If an ifdef X occurs nested inside another ifdef X, then the inside ifdef is treated as if it were an unrecognized symbol. If the same symbol appears in more than one argument, only the first occurrence is significant. The -l option causes unifdef to replace removed lines with blank lines instead of deleting them. If you use ifdefs to delimit non-C lines, such as comments or code which is under construction, then you must tell unifdef which symbols are used for that purpose so that it won't try to parse for quotes and comments in those ifdef'ed lines. You specify that you want the lines inside certain ifdefs to be ignored but copied out with -idsym and -iusym similar to -Dsym and -Usym above. If you want to use unifdef for plain text (not C code), use the -t option. This makes unifdef refrain from attempting to recognize com- ments and single and double quotes. Unifdef copies its output to stdout and will take its input from stdin if no file argument is given. If the -c argument is specified, then the operation of unifdef is complemented, i.e. the lines that would have been removed or blanked are retained and vice versa. SEE ALSO
diff(1) DIAGNOSTICS
Premature EOF, inappropriate else or endif. Exit status is 0 if output is exact copy of input, 1 if not, 2 if trouble. BUGS
