Description

Although unnecessary, sometimes CSV files contain quoted lat/long, and the file won't load as a Delimited Text Layer:

"STORE_NAME","longitude","latitude","ADDRESS","CITY","STATE","ZIP5","zip4" 
"OBENG INTERNATIONAL WHOLESALE","-77.00175874","38.90870803","300 MORSE ST NE","WASHINGTON","DC","20002","" 
"DAILY FISH OF CHESAPEAKE","-77.02539292","38.92012942","2250 Sherman Ave NW","Washington","DC","20001","4004" 
"Shipley Supermarket, Inc","-76.97122527","38.84796227","2283 Savannah St SE","Washington","DC","20020","7557"

This is related to Issue #4091, a quoted string with a comma is being improperly parsed.

The current solution is to remove the quotes around the lat and long values.
