I'm using this pattern: [^, ]+ Code: 

function split(str)
	local strs = {}
	for someStr in str:gmatch("[^, ]+") do
		table.insert(strs, someStr)
	end
	return strs
end
print(unpack(split("123, lol, hi, oof, foo, bar, var")))

Seems okay right? But when I was testing, I pressed play, but missed a comma:

print(unpack(split("a, s d")))

And results?

a s d

The pattern is supposed to only get chunks of strings with a comma, but between s and d, there's no comma. I thought it'll be

a s

But apparently, no. Is there anything I can do to prevent that?
