Why would the following regular expression produce the results below?
****input:
john,doe,"1,200.99",training,12345
****code executed on input:
values = line.split(/("\d*,\d+\.\d*")|,/)
****output:
["john","doe","","1,200.99","","training","12345"]
What's up with the two empty array indexes that are generated during the
split surrounding my dollar value?
The regular expression is pretty explicit and the input string doesn't
contain anything that should cause them when run through the expression,
yet there they are so obviously I'm doing something wrong in my regexp.
Help.
