Hi,
I have string of numbers and words like

',,,,,,23,,,asd,,,,,"name,surname",,,,,,,\n'

and I would like to split (I'm using string.split()) it using comma as
separator but I do not want to split in two also the "name,surname"
field. In other word I would like python in separating fields to skip
that particular comma.

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance

Angelo
