I'm trying to come up with a regular expression that matches numbers with commas... but doesn't match numbers formatted without commas. The problem is that I'm trying to parse a file where the columns run together sometimes. For example
987,456,321123, 456,78
This matches for the following regular expression
[-+]?(\d|,)*\.?\
What I'd like to to is only match up to three numbers between commas so that the preceding example would come back as two separate matches. I don't have a lot of experience with regular expressions and I haven't been able to find anything that does what I want. I'm hoping someone can help me. Thanks in advance
