I know we can split the string in java using split() method of String class but my scenario is, I have a string like

Mega ,Bytes, "house No. 201, ABC Street, Pune, India", 23, Student

When I am spliting the string using row.split(",")
The output is

Mega
Bytes
"house No. 201
ABC Street
Pune
India"
23
Student

I want "house No. 201, ABC Street, Pune, India" as a single string. Please suggest how can I do this. One way to do this take splitted string array elements and concatenate them into single string. but the fields inside two double qoute("") the fields may differ, sometimes 3 or 4 fields combination. So how can I do this. Please suggest the way to do this

do matching instead of splitting `"[^"]*"|[^,]+` – Avinash Raj Mar 20 '15 at 12:33
@AvinashRaj, is `matches()` method? – MegaBytes Mar 20 '15 at 12:36
no, use Pattern and Matcher classes. – Avinash Raj Mar 20 '15 at 12:37

@AvinashRaj, it is not duplicate question, yes there are so many questions for splitting and I gone through it also, but this criteria was not defined – MegaBytes Mar 20 '15 at 12:38
it should be `"[^"]*"|[^,"]+` – grape_mao Mar 20 '15 at 13:33
