Regex help

PHP

Hi guys

Does anyone know how I could split this string by the "
" character but somehow ignore any "
" characters within quotes?

An example of the string to split would be;

test@testtesttest.com test 1,000
tester@testtesttest.com tester “2,000
test”

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Crabby

hmmm doesn’t seem to work, it still splits “test”


Array (
        [0] => test@testtesttest.com test 1,000 
        [1] => tester@testtesttest.com tester "2,000 
        [2] => test

test@testtesttest.com test 1,000\

tester@testtesttest.com tester "2,000\

test"\

Hmm, maybe something like…


<?php
$subject = "foo\
bar\\"\
\\"foo\
bar";

$elements = preg_split(
  '~(?<!")\
(?!")~',
  $subject
);

echo '<pre>', print_r($elements, true) ;

/*
  Array
  (
      [0] => foo
      [1] => bar"
  "foo
      [2] => bar
  )
*/
?>

Splits on a new line, but not if the new line is quoted.
