Sorry Daiyue,
Try this correction: I'm writing code without being able to execute it.
> split_on_dbl_dbl_quote = original_list.join('|').split('""')
> remove_dbl_dbl_quotes_and_outer_quotes =
> split_on_dbl_dbl_quote[::2].join('').split('|')
split_on_dbl_dbl_quote = original_list.join('|').split('""')
remove_dbl_dbl_quotes_and_outer_quotes =
'"'.join(split_on_dbl_dbl_quote[::2]).split('|')
Cheers,
Nick
