Split CSV string in javascript with extra "," [duplicate]

Question

How to split in javascript this string

s = "Shares Mil,"6,143","6,225","6,315"

in this array:

["6,143", "6,225", "6,315"]

s.split(',') doesn't work because gives:

["6", "143", "6", "225", "6", "315"]

That's not a valid javascript string. What is the real value of s? Perhaps you have some \" in there? — Teepeemm

There is a way to do it by Regex:

var rx = /("[^"]*")(?:[,$])/g
var a = s.match(rx)
