I have succeded in writing a function which splits the contents of a visual selection on a pattern, reverses the resulting list, joins it together on a separator and puts the result back into the visual selection (Yes that's kind of basic, right?):

    fun! RevList(...)
        let reg_save=@@
        let pattern=!exists('a:1') ? '\s*,\s*' : a:1
        let sep=!exists('a:2') ? ', ' : a:2
        normal gvy
        let @@=join(reverse(split(@@,pattern)),sep)
        normal gvp
        let @@=reg_save
    endfun

What I want to do is to make this smart enough to not split on commas (or whatever) which are inside quotes, so how do I extract all substrings which match a pattern rather than split on a pattern, the equivalent of `my @list = $string =~ m/($pattern)/g` in Perl? (Hopefully a pattern like '\v%(%(\s*\,\s*)@!.)+' will match the non-quoted parts...)
