Another case to be wary of is if you have double quotes in your text. They
are encoded in the CSV as 2 double quotes.
So for example:
name story
George He said, Hello!
JeffI agree with George
Would be encoded as:
name,story
George,He said, Hello!
Jeff,I agree with George
In this scenario, Christopher's grep works, but Ronald's fails.
I forgot to account for double quotes within the field containing the
comma. Here's the fixed version:
(\(?:[^\,\r]|\\)*),((?:[^\\r]|\\)*\)(?=(?:,(?:[^\,\r]+|\(?:[^\\r]|\\)*\))*$)
Note that Christopher's grep does not account for enclosed double quotes at
all. It happens to work on your sample input, but it turns
,field
into
field
