comma delimited regular expression

I need a regular expression that will validate a double quote comma
delimited list where the odd entries are numeric and the even are
alphabetical. Each pair must also be on a separate line. For example:

"1","Peter"
"2","Paul"
"3","Mary"

I've used the following expression to validate comma delimited lists, but
without the double quotes, numeric/alpha pairing and line return
restriction.

^([A-Za-z0-9]?)+([,]\s?([A-Za-z0-9]?)+)*$

Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like a regular expression problem, not a JavaScript problem.

Try:

^"([A-Za-z0-9]?)+"([,]\s?\"([A-Za-z0-9]+)")*$

I wonder if anyone knows of some javascript code to check a comma-delimited list of email addresses for basic formating. What I'm looking for is the javascript code to check a form field on form submission. If there is an entry in the field, does it match the following: text@text.text, text@text.text,text@text.text where each address is between commas and each address is in the format

I naurally know that we can use to kill the other data, but does anyone have any examples of importing a comma delimited file into SQL Server with ASP?

The User can type only A-Z, a-z, 0-9, spaces, comma, dash, period, single and double quotes. If it has anything other than that, I need to display message. How would I do that?

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
