It could be possible only if there are some fixed conditions.
For eg. take your data.
Code:
Field1,Field2,Field3
Field1,ABC,corporation,Field3

1. If you think Filed1 and field3 will never have cammas in them, then logically you need to remove the first and the last commas (or say last 5 commas). And this can be done.
Code:
Field1,ABC,corporation,Field3,Field4,Field5,Field6,Field7

2. Or you can avoid those that come with in quotes (double " or single ' or some other character).
Like
Code:
Field1,"ABC,corporation",Field3

Without any condition, how will you yourself decide which should not/be removed?

XORGFOUNDATION(7)					 Miscellaneous Information Manual					 XORGFOUNDATION(7)

NAME

       XOrgFoundation - X.Org Foundation information

SYNOPSIS

       Release 6.7 and later of X Version 11 is brought to you by the X.Org Foundation.

DESCRIPTION

       The  X.Org Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charity corporation.  It was formed in 2004 as the successor to the X.Org
       Group at The Open Group. The purpose of the X.Org Foundation is to foster the development, evolution, and maintenance of the X Window  Sys-
       tem,  a	comprehensive set of vendor-neutral, system-architecture neutral, network-transparent windowing and user interface standards. Mem-
       bership in the X.Org Foundation is free and open to anyone. The X.Org Foundation hosts a public	git  repository  of  the  source  code	on
       freedesktop.org.

       The X Window System was created in the mid-1980s at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  In 1988, MIT formed a member-funded consor-
       tium to provide the technical and administrative leadership necessary to support further development of the X Window System.  In 1992,  MIT
       and  the membership decided it was in their best interests to move the consortium out of MIT and create an independent, stand-alone organi-
       zation.	All rights to the X Window System were assigned by MIT to X Consortium, Inc. on January 1, 1994. On December 31, 1996 the  X  Con-
       sortium, Inc. closed its doors and all rights to the X Window System were assigned to The Open Group (then known as the Open Software Foun-
       dation).
