Splitting strings....

Hi,

I have suddenly developed a need to be able to split a NSString on a ";"
The rub comes in that the semicolon does not count if it is *in* a quoted string.

Also a string can contain a quote character if it is doubled...

So.
blah blah 'I can''t stand '';'' this ;' foolishness ; any ; more
will split into:

blah blah 'I can''t stand '';'' this ;' foolishness
and
any
and
more

I am not to keen on scanning the string char at a time and keeping track of the
uncovered semicolons....

Any one tackled this problem before? Is there an elegant solution?

--Jerry
