I have a string that looks like this:
'word','another word','and a sentence','and more','etc etc'
I need to split this into two strings, divided by the second comma -- which shouldn't show in either of the sentences. What complicates things is that here can also be commas inside the various quotes parts of the string.
$a="'word','another word','and a sentence','and more','etc etc'";
//preg_match('{(.*?,[^,]*),(.*)}', $a, $matches);
preg_match('{(.*?[^\\\\]\',.*?[^\\\\]\'),(.*)}', $a, $matches); //UPDATE
print_r($matches);
DISPLAY:
Array
(
[0] => 'word','another word','and a sentence','and more','etc etc'
[1] => 'word','another word'
[2] => 'and a sentence','and more','etc etc'
)
