I have the following String (based on a CSV):

str = '234,23,"sdf,23", "sdf", 23-APR-21, "sd",,'

I only want to get the element at the 5th position. So normally I just do str.split(",")[4] => '23-APR-21'

But now I get returned str.split(",")[4] => '"sdf"'

Since applying just "," on the escaped part of the CSV returns already two parts. "sdf,23" => sdf and 23

How would you solve this without using a special CSV parser?
