i need to split it like
{Name, last}  {Name, first}  { 123}  {12/05/2007}  {comments,test
this} {someotherstring}

the problem is, i want to split it with comma (,)
but should ignore the comma with quotes

    % set line {"Name, last", "Name, first", 123, "12/05/2007", " comments,test this", someotherstring}
    "Name, last", "Name, first", 123, "12/05/2007", " comments,test this", someotherstring
    % package req csv
    0.6
    % set lst [csv::split $line]
    {Name, last} { Name, first} { 123} { 12/05/2007} {  comments,test this} { someotherstring}

I notice most of the output fields have leading spaces, so you could
string trim the results if required.
