readcsv is very basic, for a more featureintensive variant see http://juliastats.github.io/DataFrames.jl/io.html
While it is true that readcsv is basic, it does seems reasonable to me that it handle quotes and escaped commas.
dup of #5375
It seems that readcsv does not really try to parse csv files. For example, readcsv should not split fields on escaped commas (e.g. included in double quotes). With a file temp.csv containing the two following lines
first field, second field, third field first field, "this comma, is escaped", third field
I get the following error
julia> readcsv("/home/data/temp.csv") ERROR: BoundsError() in getindex at ascii.jl:11
So, I guess that this is a feature request. Here is the relevant rfc: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180
