Dealing with commas in a CSV file

Question

I am looking for suggestions on how to handle a csv file that is being created, then uploaded by our customers, and that may have a comma in a value, like a company name.

    public static IEnumerable LineSplitter(this string line, char 
         separator, char skip = '"')
    {
        var fieldStart = 0;
        for (var i = 0; i < line.Length; i++)
        {
            if (line[i] == separator)
            {
                yield return line.Substring(fieldStart, i - fieldStart);
                fieldStart = i + 1;
            }
            else if (i == line.Length - 1)
            {
                yield return line.Substring(fieldStart, i - fieldStart + 1);
                fieldStart = i + 1;
            }

            if (line[i] == '"')
                for (i++; i < line.Length && line[i] != skip; i++) { }
        }

        if (line[line.Length - 1] == separator)
        {
            yield return string.Empty;
        }
    }
