regex - Java: splitting a comma-separated string but ignoring commas in quotes -


i have string vaguely this:

foo,bar,c;qual="baz,blurb",d;junk="quux,syzygy"

that want split commas -- need ignore commas in quotes. how can this? seems regexp approach fails; suppose can manually scan , enter different mode when see quote, nice use preexisting libraries. (edit: guess meant libraries part of jdk or part of commonly-used libraries apache commons.)

the above string should split into:

foo bar c;qual="baz,blurb" d;junk="quux,syzygy"

note: not csv file, it's single string contained in file larger overall structure

try:

public class main {      public static void main(string[] args) {         string line = "foo,bar,c;qual=\"baz,blurb\",d;junk=\"quux,syzygy\"";         string[] tokens = line.split(",(?=(?:[^\"]*\"[^\"]*\")*[^\"]*$)", -1);         for(string t : tokens) {             system.out.println("> "+t);         }     } }

output:

> foo > bar > c;qual="baz,blurb" > d;junk="quux,syzygy"

in other words: split on comma if comma has zero, or number of quotes ahead of it.

or, bit friendlier eyes:

public class main {      public static void main(string[] args) {         string line = "foo,bar,c;qual=\"baz,blurb\",d;junk=\"quux,syzygy\"";          string otherthanquote = " [^\"] ";         string quotedstring = string.format(" \" %s* \" ", otherthanquote);         string regex = string.format("(?x) "+ // enable comments, ignore white spaces                 ",                         "+ // match comma                 "(?=                       "+ // start positive ahead                 "  (?:                     "+ //   start non-capturing group 1                 "    %s*                   "+ //     match 'otherthanquote' 0 or more times                 "    %s                    "+ //     match 'quotedstring'                 "  )*                      "+ //   end group 1 , repeat 0 or more times                 "  %s*                     "+ //   match 'otherthanquote'                 "  $                       "+ // match end of string                 ")                         ", // stop positive ahead                 otherthanquote, quotedstring, otherthanquote);          string[] tokens = line.split(regex, -1);         for(string t : tokens) {             system.out.println("> "+t);         }     } }

which produces same first example.

edit

as mentioned @mikefhay in comments:

i prefer using guava's splitter, has saner defaults (see discussion above empty matches being trimmed string#split(), did: 

splitter.on(pattern.compile(",(?=(?:[^\"]*\"[^\"]*\")*[^\"]*$)"))

Add a dynamic header in angular 2 http provider -

i have http interceptor built via tutorial https://scotch.io/@kashyapmukkamala/using-http-interceptor-with-angular2 the problem need have dynamic header changes automatically once changes 'mode' in app. service able tell interceptor change header, or have interceptor pull header (which string)from service each request. able throwing away patch method, call http.patch('new header string') set header string. call in service controls 'mode' setting. wondering if there way interceptor pull recent value service each request or if can add method http provider via interceptor? i've tried call service in interceptor each request returns undefined. because creating new instance of service or copying value before service fired , loaded/changed data. i don't want pass header string every http provider call because defeats purpose of having interceptor, id able set once changes or have provider fetch service before makes request. tl;dr : need add autom...

minify - Minimizing css files -

i want know how css files can minimized. currently, using external sites css minifier compress css files. however, after removing whitespaces, comments, etc, file sizes reduced 10-15%. how frameworks bootstrap manage make minimized versions kilobytes. as example, css is: body { background-color: #ff0; } the reduction goes 28 bytes 22 bytes other css files have lot more characters still smaller this. actually minifying code means it's remove thing code white space characters new line characters comments block delimiters it reduces amount of code has transferred on web , speed site load fastly.but unreadable format.
