# parse_csv

The `parse_csv` method parses a string of comma-separated values into individual strings. The method understands quoted values (such that parsing 'foot, "leg, torso", elbow' produces three values) and ignores white space around delimiters.

## Syntax

    parse_csv( input [, delimiter ] )

## Arguments

Argument | Description
--- | ---
`input` | (string) The string to parse.
`delimiter` | (string) The delimiter to use (the default delimiter is ",").

## Returns

(Strings). You can put them in a table like this:

    local results = { parse_csv("cat,tree,house", ",") };
