How to parse multiple cookies values from Set-Cookie (contains commas and semicolons)

I'm actually using:

(.*?)=(.*?);


But it's not parsing properly due to the commas that it contains.

Here's the cookies string:

I think this might work for you:

(.*?)=(.*?)($|;|,(?! ))

the last part is saying:
$ end of string | or ...
; semi-colon | or ...
,(?! ) comma not followed by a space

result

The best thing would be to actually be consistent with your separators (use semi-colons all the time)... and this seems to be kinda hinky but I think it will work for your situation as all the commas you don't want to split at seem to be followed by a space from what I can tell... (as long as your data doesn't change to be like "foo=bar,baz; blah=foo").

I suggest using a negative lookahead:

(.*?)=(.*?)(?:;|,(?!\s))

The second part of the match will end at a comma which is not followed by a space, and the only comma followed by a space seems to be in the date, while it is being used as separator everywhere else.

The following will split at both a , and a ;, however, I think you shouldn't split at commas! This regex will also match the last entry in the string, since this one is missing a ;.

So you are basically wanting to split on commas and semi-colons instead of just semi-colons? But how would you expect this to work? It seems there are valid cases where a comma isn't meant to split... like "Mon, 07-..." – smerny

(.*?)=((.*?)[;,]|.*$)
