I'm not sure how but also this seems to work: In[20]: s = '2,"some, text",more text' In [21]: re.split(r'(?<=">),', s) Out[21]: ['2,"some, text",more text'] I just wanted to try the lookahead functions, which I never use but sometimes might come handy. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
