Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to match fields surrounded by double quotes with commas? Post 302902501 by Aia on Tuesday 20th of May 2014 08:18:09 PM

If it allows PCRE
Code:
"[\w]+,[-, \w]*"

Otherwise
Code:
"[a-z0-9]+,[-, a-z0-9]*"

Maybe even this if the content varies from what's shown:
Code:
"[-, a-z0-9]+,[-, a-z0-9]+"

Essentially, I am trying to avoid picking up ",334," and ",881," which are commas inside quotes as well. Smilie
