Splitting a CSV and excluding commas within elements

Question

I\'ve got a CSV string an I want to separate it into an array. However the CSV is a mix of strings and numbers where the strings are enclosed in quotes and may contain comma

Answer 1

I would suggest using one of the following solutions, was just testing a few of them (hence the delay):-

1. Regex matching commas not found within an enclosing double aprostophe
2. A Fast CSV Reader - for read CSV only
3. FileHelpers Library 2.0 - for read/write CSV

Hope this helps.
