I'd appreciate it if someone could help me wrap my brain around this one.
I've got a string like this:
$string='"one two" three "four five six"';

I'd like to wind up with an array like this:
one two
three
four five six

Essentially, I would like to split up the string on spaces, but ignore spaces that are
inside pairs of quotes. So:
$string='"one two" three "four five" six "seven eight nine"';
should wind up as:
one two
three
four five
six
seven eight nine

I've tried using a regular expression to replace "one two" with "one_two" and
"one two three" with "one_two_three", thinking that then I could split on spaces
and then strip out the _, but I didn't have any luck with that, either. Any pointers
would be greatly appreciated.

        Pete
