How do I surround commas with escaped double-quotes?

[Anonymous Monk]

I would like to replace , with \",\" in a similar way that printing it would mean doing print "\\\",\\\""

$_ = ',';
s!,!"\\\\\\",\\\\\\""!;
print "$_\n";

This prints:

"\\\",\\\""

Is this what you're looking for?

[tye]

$string= "This, that, and those";
$string =~ s/,/\\",\\"/g;
print $string;

Prints:

This\",\" that\",\" and those
