I would love to use Awk but I think it's still hard to do text qualifier "double quote".

The solution you provided doesn't take care of double quote issue. when i open up csv file in excel, it looks as "one column" since it has begin doublequote and end doublequote. (3 double quotes in the begining, 1 double quote in the end)
