    copied!<p><strong>How can I convert a csv string to a JSON Array using regular expression?</strong></p> <p>i'm trying to use the regex with text editors like Vim or Sublime Text, not with programming language. FYI, the Sublime Text uses the <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/libs/regex/doc/html/index.html" rel="nofollow">Boost syntax</a>.</p> <p>If I have a set of csv strings like these:</p> <pre><code>"tag1, tag2, tag3" </code></pre> <p>the string above should be formatted like following:</p> <pre><code>["tag1", "tag2", "tag3"] </code></pre> <hr> <p><strong>(an explanation for the entire contents added...)</strong></p> <p>the csv strings are in the middle of the contents like this:</p> <pre><code>... {"url":"http://osxdaily.com/2007/0ge5/02/quickly-encrypt-a-file-with-openssl", "user":"user01","tag_string":"openssl,encrypt", "created_at":"2011/04/19 05:49:26 +0000", "title":"Quickly encrypt a file with OpenSSL"}, {"url":"http://staticimport.blogspot.com","user":"user02", "tag_string":"command,line,developer,tools,osx", "created_at":"2011/04/19 05:42:13 +0000","title":"Mac OS X Lion Command Line Developer Tools staticimport"}, {"url":"https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action", "user":"user_01","tag_string":"ios,development,download", "created_at":"2011/04/19 04:47:26 +0000","title":"Apple Developer Download Center"} ... </code></pre> <p>the <strong>tag_string</strong> is the csv string to be converted to JSON Array.</p>
