Hey guys! I really need an help here. I have a function here, this:

divide :: String -> [String]

divide [] = [""]

divide (c:cs) | c == '\"' = a:(divide (drop 2 b))

              | c == ',' = "":raw

              | otherwise = (c:head raw):tail raw

        where raw = divide cs

              (a,b) = span (/='\"') cs

I need an alternative to this function, that do the same, but in a simple way too. Please, i really need a help, this is my only hope x) .
Cheers!! :D

If you just want to split a string into an array of strings based on commas, maybe you can experiment with using elemIndex and splitAt from Data.List?
