Is there a Regular Expression that matches either an
integer [0-9]+ OR some letters [a-zA-Z]+ followed by a
COMMA followed by some letters [a-zA-Z]+

That is, for example, either 01234 OR aBc,xyZ

???
 
I think i'm parsing words to literally so that regex would have to look like
([0-9]+|[A-Za-z]+,[A-Za-z]+)
or shorthand
(\d+|\w+,\w+)

ps: not trying to show up mr gunnerson, of course

The OR operator is "|", inside of parenthesis:

(cat|dog)

For what you want, you can do:

[0-9a-zA-Z]+,[a-zA-Z]+
