How could I parse the parameters of a function?

Question

I'm trying to make a small scripting programming language to test my skills.

I was wondering how I could split the parameters in a function. So the syntax goes like this:

test "bla,bla,bla", "othertext"

How could I split those 2 parameters at the , in the middle without worrying the , chars in the string? Is there a regex to make things a little more easy?

I would do string iteration / substringing, and manage that yourself (state for being in quotes) — Rogue, Nov 12 '16 at 13:04

I mean the question is similiar to the one linked, but I need a ',' between parameters, and I do not know how I could do that. — Matto, Nov 12 '16 at 14:16

    String str = "\"bla,bla,bla\", \"othertext\"";
    int p = str.lastIndexOf(',');
    String parameter1 =str.substring(0, p);
    String parameter2 =str.substring(p+1);
