I mean, do you have the entire CSV in memory? I guess the split means
you do. In that case you could split with a regexp like this:

    lines = csv.split(/[\015\012]+/)

The exact regexp depends on what you need. That one prevents blank
items in lines in particular, may do.

That said, I'd normally use a CSV library to handle the input.
