Split string by comma, space and quetes

Question

I want to split a string by comma, space and quetes. for example:

Input:

"Super Bus" dri"ver bus1, driver1

output:

"Super Bus"
dri"ver
bus1
driver1

This is my regex(it splits by space and comme):

Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("[ ,]+")

Any help appreciated!

what's your expected output if the input is `"Super Bus" dri"ver bus1, dri"ver1` ? — Avinash Raj, Mar 01 '15 at 08:40
why `"ver bus1 Dri"` isn't calculated as a single word? is that the double quoted string is always surrounded by boundaries? — Avinash Raj, Mar 01 '15 at 08:42
It's a good question! I need to think about that.. thank you! — Alon Shmiel, Mar 01 '15 at 08:43
i think there is no non-word character present in your string other than quotes, comma and space. — Avinash Raj, Mar 01 '15 at 08:46

I suggest you to do matching instead of splitting.

[^,\s]*\b"\b[^,\s]*|"[^"]*"|[^,\s]+
