Regular Expression Split?

[vladibo]

How to write regular expression that Splits by ',' but not by '\,'

so if I have

string str = @"Aa aa\,\,aa aaA,\,,Bbbb bbb bbB";
string pattern = ?

string[] strArr = Regex.Split(str,pattern);
Console.WriteLine("# Elements: "+strArr.Length);
for(int i=0;i<strArr.Length;i++){
Console.WriteLine(i+"|"+strArr+"|");
}

The result should be:

0|Aa aa\,\,aa aaA|
1|\,|
2|Bbbb bbb bbB|

But what is the pattern?

Thanks

something like ".*?," ?

Not a clue, here is a hack.

string sPattern = ",";
string str = @"Aa aa\,\,aa aaA,\,,Bbbb bbb bbB";
str = str.Replace(@"\,","&^&");
Regex regex = new Regex(sPattern); 
string[] strArr = regex.Split(str);
string str1;
for(int i=0;i<strArr.Length;i++){
	str1 = strArr[i].Replace("&^&",@"\,");
	Console.WriteLine(i+"|"+str1+"|");
}
