Split string using Regex (VB.Net)

Question

Hello,

I think I actually want to do something pretty simple, but I am new at regular expressions. I have tried to read/use manuals, but the information is pretty much overwhelming, so I thought  I'd ask for help.

The first idea is that I want to split the String on a comma (","c). This is really straightforward of course. However, I want to ignore comma's that are between brackets. So something like: "String1, Function(a, b), String2" should obtain 3 substrings ("String1", "Function(a, b)" and "String2").  
Any suggestions?

Excuse me, I'm not sure if I was blind earlier, or that the view changed with respect to my question, but I now see a previous question which is more or less the same. I guess I should try to see if I can work with that:

My apologies.

Hi Mglimmerveen,

Welcome to the MSDN Forum.

That's all right.

I think that similar thread should be help, too.

Best regards,
