Below is an example of a record I have, which I wish to split using the perl's split function and load it into an array. I am having tough time figuring out the exact reg-ex to perform the split.
The delimiter to uniquely identify each field is "," (comma). The quotation marks represents a string and the non-quotation marks represents integers.
The problem with this record is such that, a string which is represented within the quotation marks has "," (commas) (example this "lmno,pqrR, stv") in it, which should not be identified as a field, because the comma resides within the quotation marks.
Therefore, I would like to build a reg-ex within the split function which will basically follow the either of the below algorithms:
Algo A:
split (/\,|dont split if there is [:alpha:]\,[:alpha:]|dont split if there is [:alpha:]\,|dont split if there is ,[:alpha:]/, $givenrec)
--------------OR---------------
Algo B:
split a field if the starting and ending character of that field is " (for strings) OR none (for integers)
I really appreciate the help in advance.
Please let me know if you require any further explanations.
Thus the result should be: That is retaining the quotation marks as well, since its string.

I am completely new to perl programming. My father is helping me learn said programming language. However, I am stuck on one of the assignments he has given me, and I can't find very much help with it via google, either because I have a tiny attention span, or because I can be very very dense.

Hi I am doing something basic like...

split
SPLIT(1) General Commands Manual SPLIT(1)NAME
split - split a file into pieces
SYNOPSIS
split [ option ... ] [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
Split reads file (standard input by default) and writes it in pieces of 1000 lines per output file. The names of the output files are xaa,
xab, and so on to xzz. The options are
-n Split into n-line pieces.
-e expression
File divisions occur at each line that matches a regular expression; see regexp(6). Multiple -e options may appear. If a subex-
pression of expression is contained in parentheses (...), the output file name is the portion of the line which matches the subex-
pression.
-f stem
Use stem instead of x in output file names.
-s suffix
Append suffix to names identified under -e.
-x Exclude the matched input line from the output file.
-i Ignore case in option -e; force output file names (excluding the suffix) to lower case.
