Subject: Re: regular expression

my logic was to just put the space character in place of comma and keep rest as it is

but unfortunately that does not work

Well, to be precise, your conceptual logic was fine; the implementation was flawed. As several have pointed out, you weren't replacing the comma with a _space_ *character*, but with the RegExp _whitespace_ *character class*.
