Zhang Le I suppose there is: see :help pattern.txt Then maybe you'll want not to replace it between digits, as in 123,456,789.01 (decimal notation with thousands, Anglo-Saxon style) or 123.456.789,01 (the same, Latin style). (BTW, I don't know whether the Chinese people use a comma or a period for the decimal point, and I'm not sure whether they separate thousands, millions, etc., or maybe tens-of-thousands [aka myriads], myriads of myriads, etc., in large numbers written with the characters 0123456789).

You can also ctrl-v, which will prevent the , map.

The function, InsertIfNotAfter, is defined as
function! InsertIfNotAfter(key, what, pattern)
let c = col('.') - 1
let l = getline('.')
let l = strpart(l, 0, c)
if l =~ a:pattern.'\s*$'
return a:key
else
return Def_AbbrC(a:key, a:what)
endif
endfunction
I thought that if a:pattern matches, then a:key is not expanded.
And if it is not matched, it is expanded, to a:what.
Oh, wait, I see. This function is part of a mapping. As you said,
if the pattern matches, the comma is expanded to whatever the
first parameter of InsertIfNotAfter is. If it doesn't match, it
is expanded to the second parameter of InsertIfNotAfter.

I must admit I never remember which parameter is expanded when.
If the pattern is matched, we expand the first parameter. The second
otherwise.

Of course. You're right.

Just for my own benefit, and to refresh my memory about what this means:
It's a mapping to add a space after the comma, but only when the
comma is not preceded by something the regex matches.
What the regex matches is an opening bracket or parenthesis followed by
a number of non-closing-bracket characters.
Shouldn't the closing parenthesis be included also in the regex?
'[[(][^])]\+'

I see two ways:
1- The first is to rely on ftplugins and :map-. This way, you
can specify mappings for specific filetypes. However, it won't be able
to distinguish normal commas, from commas used in arrays.
2- The second is to define context dependent mapping. You can search for
the discussion I had with Dr Bean last week on this topic.
You can search for the following Message-ID on gmane:

He used the function InsertIfNotAfter() I define in my C++ ftplugin
cpp_set.vim available in lh-cpp.tar.gz [1].
In your case, I guess it will look like:
inoremap ,
\ =InsertIfNotAfter(',', ', ', '[[(][^]]\+')
