How to pass List of strings from Cucumber Scenario

Question

I need to pass the List of strings from cucumber scenario which works fine as below

Scenario Outline: Verify some scenario 
Given something
When user do something 
Then user should have some "<data>" 
Examples: Some example
|data|
|Test1, Test2, Test3, Test4|

In the step definition I use List to retrieve the values of something variable. But when one of the value of data variable contains comma(,) e.g. Tes,t4 it becomes complex,since it considers "Tes" and "t4" as two different values

 Examples: Some example
 |something|
 |Test1, Test2, Test3, Tes,t4|  

So is there any escape character that i can use or is there is there any other way to handle this situation

Answer 2

This should work for you:

Scenario: Verify some scenario 
Given something
When user do something 
Then user should have following
| Test1 |
| Test2 |
| Test3 |
| Tes,t4| 

In Step definitions

Then("^user should have following$")
 public void user_should_have_following(List<String> testData) throws Throwable {
 #TODO user your test data as desired
 }
