In fairness to the rest of the scripting world,  perl, php, ruby, etc
all of which have very similar code:

<?php
$handle = fopen("test.csv", "r");
while (($row = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
    print $row[2] .',' . $row[3] ;    //etc
}

Its also possible to have embedded quotes and embedded new lines.
