Re^3: split on the pattern of '),('

in reply to Re^2: split on the pattern of '),('
in thread split on the pattern of '),('

That fails for

$str = '(1,"(text),(text)", 123),(2,"(string)", 234),(...)';

No it doesn't. The string you give contains "),(" three times, and my regex splits it at all three.

use Test::More tests => 5;

my $string = '(1,"(text),(text)", 123),(2,"(string)", 234),(...)';
my @parts  = split m{ [)] [,] [(] }x, $string;

# Prove that the split worked properly...

# Firstly, joining the parts back with '),(' recreates the original st
+ring.
my $joined = join '),(', @parts;
is($joined, $string);

# Secondly, none of the individual parts contain '),('
unlike($_, qr{\Q),(\E}) for @parts;

For the input I gave, the code you gave produced:

GOT: (1,"(text
GOT: text)", 123
GOT: 2,"(string)", 234
GOT: ...)

But surely, it should produce:

GOT: 1,"(text),(text)", 123
GOT: 2,"(string)", 234
GOT: ...

Your first "GOT" line contains a substring "),(" thus it was not fully split on that substring.
