Re^3: Anything that is not ',' except .... RegEx question

[eric256]

I was greatly entertained by how you ignored every last shred of advice in this topic. You didn't even take the part about [\d|\.] not meaning what you think it means, and used it anyway.

Either way i would talk to the person sending you this CSV since its not a legal CSV if they are putting data with commas in it without quoting those fields.

BTW you can store repeated elements of your regex in a named variable. Like:

my $num = qr/[\d.]+/;
if ($line = m/^([^,]+),([^,]+),$num,$num,$num,$num,,$num,$num,$num,$nu
+m,,$num,$num,$num,$num/) {

That way if you want to update that pattern you can update it just once.
