Parsing a csv file....

tor
Hello
I have the following file that I wan't to
parse/split into fields.

splitting the line into elements should result in:
field1;field2;field3 elem[0] = field1, elem[1] = field2, elem[2] = field3

the above is the easy one, next one
note the \; in the first field:
fie\;ld1;field2;field3 elem[0] = fie\;ld1, elem[1] = field2, elem[2] =
field3

and the next one
note the " " in the first field:
"fie;ld1";field2;field3 elem[0] = "fie;ld1", elem[1] = field2, elem[2] =
field3
