The split command uses a regex to specify the delimiter, which is used to split a string. In this case, the delimiter is zero or more white spaces, followed by a comma, followed by zero of more white spaces. Another way to think of it is -- the delimiter is really just a comma, and the split command will also trim off the white spaces near them as well.
