Subject: [ruby-talk:22494] extracting from delimited text files

What is the simplist way to extract fields from standard quoted, comma 
delimited text files such as are commonly exported from database programs?  
Are there already  classes/modules written?  Or is this normally just done 
with the standard String methods?  I don't yet know enough about regular 
expressions to make String.split do what I want.  Any help is appreciated.  
Thanks ahead.

Albert
