CSV Example:
12345,"Some, Text",9/18/2003

Array Values:
array[0]=>12345
array[1]=>"Some, Text"
array[2]=>"9/18/2003

The challenge, remove the " character from the begining and end of the
string ( not using string.replace() ). What doesn't seem to work:
if ( array[1][0] == '"' ) {
    array[1] = array[1].Substring( 1, array[1].length - 1 );
}
if( array[1][( array[1].length - 1 )] == '"' ) {
    array[1] = array[1].Substring( 0, array[1].length - 2 );
}
