Answer 1

Try this to match all comma separated value and will ignore if comma is coming between the number

$f= file("statement.txt"); //if from text file

foreach($f as $dailystatmet)
{

         preg_match_all("/('?\d+,\d+\.\d+)?([a-zA-Z]|[0-9]|)[^,]+/",$dailystatmet,$matches);

        var_dump($matches);
}

or

$dailystatmet="18/03/2014,'POS Transaction 7400000000',212.00,' ', 14/03/2014";
preg_match_all("/('?\d+,\d+\.\d+)?([a-zA-Z]|[0-9]|)[^,]+/",$dailystatmet,$matches);
var_dump($matches);
