Validate csv file

Hi guys,
i want to validate the no.of colums in a csv file ,but if there is a comma(,) in any of the data values it should skip and count only valid (,) commas.
e.g

Code:

1.abc,pqrs,1234,567,hhh

result :4

Code:

2.abc,pqrs,1234,567,hhh,"in,valid",end12

result:6
here script should skip the comma inside the{"in,valid"}.
please advice how to get this count?

thanks
