Seems like I had to do this once. I assume your data is like this:

"Joe","Smith","123 Main Street"

Can't you just replace "," with a tab then remove the replace the 
remaining quotes with nothing? Or even simplier, simply replace the 
commas with tabs then replace the quotes with nothing to remove them.
