Hi Guys,

I have a CSV file exported from an LDAP query which I need to build an array from.
At the moment I have some fields containing commas surrounded by quotes.

"cn=JOHNSMITH,ou=SALES,o=COMPA NY",JOHN,JOHN SMITH,,SMITH,,,"1 West Street, Westland",,,42,,,JOHN SMITH,,,,,,,,

What is the most elegant way to get an array with the items within the quotes intact.
