Use a CSV parsing library, rather than rolling your own. They take
care of all that stuff for you. I've used
http://ostermiller.org/utils/CSV.html in the past.
If you really want to parse it yourself, you can use listToArray, and
then iterate over the array and combine items that are quoted.
Simply define an ODBC datasource using the Microsoft txt ODBC driver.
Then requst the datasaource to get all records.

Defining another datasource is not allowed in this. Yes, I know it's

Oracle, but I do not have permission to set up another datasource. So
I need to do it by coding.

Quoting is part of standard CSV, Ostermiller will take care of it.
But you don't need to loop over every character. Once you have your
array, you start combining when you find an item that begins with a
quote, and you stop combining when you find an item that ends with a
quote. In my example,
Ok.. I see what you are saying... Thanks. :)

Okay. I was thinking there might be options with an MS datasource. But as that
is out of the question, I would go with Barney's suggestion. (Looks
interesting. I will have to try it myself).

I had a similar situation recently in an export from an old legacy
application. (90% of my job)
It may not apply to your situation, but it sure saves me a ton of time, so
it is slightly relevant here. (Windows info only here)
