I thought this will be trivial but I can't get this to work.

Assume a line in a CSV file: "Barak Obama", 48, "President", "1600 Penn Ave, Washington DC"

string[] tokens = line.split(',')

I expect this: "Barak Obama" 48 "President" "1600 Penn Ave, Washington DC"

but the last token is 'Washington DC' not "1600 Penn Ave, Washington DC".

Is there an easy way to get the split function to ignore the comma within quotes?
