How about you first split the text by comma (string.split(line,',')). Then you iterate over the elements and whenever an element has an odd number of " (string.count(element,'"')%2) you join it with the following element. Repeat the procedure until there are no more changes.

Or you could steal the parsing code from TinyTables, which handles all this pretty nicely, by using the python tokenizer :-)
