Michael Knapp created LANG-860:
----------------------------------
Summary: String split with an escape pattern
Key: LANG-860
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-860
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: lang.*
Reporter: Michael Knapp
Priority: Minor
Often times there are strings which are delimited, but certain patterns can
escape the delimiter. For example, quotes are used in CSV to escape a comma
delimiter. I have written a couple methods for StringUtils that split strings
while considering the possibility of an escape pattern. For example, when
given "a,\"b,c\",c", it will produce {"a","\"b,c\"","c"}. In my code, the
delimiter can be a string, and it can be escaped by any regular expression
pattern. Unit tests are already written and passing.
I plan to attach the patch for this once the ticket is created. I just need a
committer to review the patch, approve, and commit it for me.
