How about a quick and gross hack here? If you are sure that ctrl-A (^A) will
never figure in the input ever. Then replace all instances of the
separator with this before splitting and restore after splitting.
e.g. If we take this replace character as %.
$ cat test.txt
Lastname,Firstname,"Address, Apt/Suite #123",City,State,"dasd,sdas",Zipcode
$ cat test.txt| perl -ne 's/"(.*?),(.*?)"/$1%$2/g; split /,/; foreach(@_){
s/%/,/g; print "$_\n";};'
Lastname
Firstname
Address, Apt/Suite #123
City
State
dasd,sdas
Zipcode
