Your desired output format isn't clear, but maybe something like:
Code:
awk -F'"' '
{	nf = gsub(/,/, ",") + 1
	for(i = 2; i <= NF; i += 2)
		nf -= gsub(/,/, ",", $i)
	printf("%s\tresult:%d\n", $0, nf)
	tf += nf
}
END {	printf("Summary: fields:%d rows:%d average fields/row:%.2f\n",
		tf, NR, tf / NR)
}' OFS='"' file

producing the output:
Code:
bc,pqrs,1234,567,hhh	result:5
2.abc,pqrs,1234,567,hhh,"in,valid",end12	result:7
Summary: fields:12 rows:2 average fields/row:6.00

will give you what you want from your two sample input lines???
