Matching a character or the end of a line/string

[Geoff Leyland <geoff_leyland@...>]

Hi,

When you're parsing csv files, it would be useful to look for the end of a field with the pattern "[,$]" so that you can find the end of the last field as well as the ends of the previous fields.  Trouble is, this doesn't seem to work.  Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

(I looked at [1] and as far as I can tell, that code expects the last field to end with a comma)

Cheers,
Geoff
