I needed to use javacast() for the split function. Can someone tell me how to convert this back to a coldfusion array?

javaCast("string", row).split(',(?=([^\"]*\"[^\"]*\")*[^\"]*$)')

Appending it to an empty array will do it: https://trycf.com/gist/57300c5efd155b58497bb2e952386e4a/lucee5?theme=monokai

You rock

Fallen afoul of this before 😉
