Thanks for all the postings. I can't change delimiter in the source
itself, so I'm doing it temporarily just to handle the escaping:
def splitWithEscapedCommasInParens(s, trim=False):
pat = re.compile(r"(.+?\([^\(\),]*?),(.+?\).*)")
while pat.search(s):
s = re.sub(pat,r"\1|\2",s)
if trim:
return [string.strip(string.replace(x,"|",",")) for x in
string.split(s,",")]
else:
return [string.replace(x,"|",",") for x in string.split(s,",")]
Probably not the most efficient, but its "the simplest thing that
works" for me :-)
Thanks again for all the quick responses.
Ramon
