I am trying to work with java and Twitter using Twitter4j
(http://twitter4j..org/).
I got oAuth to work, and I was able to return a string that looks like JSON but
isn't. I am no JAVA programmer. I can do something with the string that is
returned, but I ran into a snag when I tried to parse it. There are commas
inside single quotes that coldfusion wants to treat like a delimiter. I could
parse the string if I knew how to regex and replace the commas that not inside
the single quotes. That would give a delimiter other than a comma for the
twitter posts.
Here is my code that I'm using to return my twitter posts:
<cfscript>
configBuilder = createObject("java", "twitter4j.conf.ConfigurationBuilder");
configBuilder.setOAuthConsumerKey(auth.consumerKey);
configBuilder.setOAuthConsumerSecret(auth.consumerSecret);
configBuilder.setOAuthAccessToken(auth.accessToken);
configBuilder.setOAuthAccessTokenSecret(auth.accessTokenSecret);
config = configBuilder.build();
twitterFactory = createObject("java", "twitter4j.TwitterFactory").init(config);
twitter = twitterFactory.getInstance().getUserTimeline().toString();
</cfscript>
The string that it returns looks like this:
Twitter looks like this:

Can anyone help me with either a way to get JSON back using Twitter4J or a
regex to replace the commas that are not inside the single quotes?
