Hi,

I need to read a string value from the csv file.

Case1:
Tester:,UST1,
Read UST1
Case2:
Tester:,,
Read empty
Case3:
Tester:,UST1 UST2 UST3 ,
Read UST1 UST2 UST3

I used this regular expression (?<=Tester:,)(.*\s.*|\s*) but it reads comma(,) also

How about selecting out everything that isn't a comma?

(?<=Tester:,)([^,]*)

You can enhance this to select out particular patterns too, just make sure that not comma is in each pattern
