I am not allowed to load any modules
Core modules do not have to be installed so you may benefit from Text::Balanced.
Below code is not bullit proof but should be sufficient to process your data:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Text::Balanced qw(extract_quotelike);
sub getfields {
my ($str) = @_;
my @fields;
my $field = '';
while ($str) {
$field .= $str =~ s/^(\s*)// ? $1 :'';
my $extracted;
if ($str=~/^["']/) {
($extracted,$str) = extract_quotelike($str);
$field.=$extracted;
}
else {
($extracted,$str) = split(',',$str,2);
push @fields,$field.$extracted;
$field='';
}
}
return @fields;
}
while (my $line = <DATA>) {
chomp($line);
print "$_\t" foreach ( getfields($line) );
print "\n";
}
__DATA__
