I have a CSV-file delimited by colons, but it contains text-fields wrapped in quotes, which themselves contain several colons.

I would like a simple solution for getting the data fields, but eg. in ruby the split method splits on every colon.

Is there a regex which matches all colons, except those wrapped in quotes?
