public static List<string> SplitIntoCells(
	string line,
	char separator
)

line

Type: System.String
The line to be split.

separator

Type: System.Char
The separator at which to split.

Type: List(String)
A list of strings representing all parts of given line.

Well, standard string split would actually not work for this purpose. For example, one of the exceptions is that strings are split at the separator, no matter if the separator is inside or outside a string that is surrounded by double-quotes. This means that something like "Head,er1",Header2,Header3 would be split into ["Head] [er1"] [Header2] [Header3].

This method puts respect on that by skipping everything which is enclosed double-quotes. Taking the example from above would result in [Head,er1] [Header2] [Header3] which seems to be the wanted result. Further, leaving out some of the double-quotes would also work in certain scale. But be always aware, a constellation like "Head,er1","Header2,Header3" would end up in [Head,er1] [Header2,Header3]!
