java string 去掉逗号,Java String.split（）在逗号后面跟着非空格

I'm parsing a dataset which annoyingly decided to comma-delimit items in a TSV (PharmaGKB pathways, I'm looking at you), but allow commas in each logical element.

Basically, comma-followed-by-space means no delimit, while comma followed by character means new element.

"This is one, element,two element, three element"

Should be:

This is one, element

two element

three element

I have the regex a.split(",\\S+");, which splits fine but it removes the first character after every split.

This is one, element

wo element

hree element

Regex is like going to the dentist for me, help is much appreciated.

Positive lookaheads:

a.split(",(?=\\S)");
