How do i read a record whose delimiter is part of the field values?

Many programs (Excel, etc) will enclose a field in which a delimiter
is part of the text with double quotes:
Sample This:

Name: Name1
Address: 458, MyCity
Country: MyCountry

In Excel it will appear like this:

Name    Address        Country
Name1 458, MyCity    MyCountry

When converted to CSV it will be:

Name, "458, MyCity", MyCountry

Now, using READSEQ, the routine breaks the Address field at the first
comma , (i.e after 458) instead of treating everything enclosed in ""
as a single entity.
