On a more serious note. Simply removing *all* double quotes can be a dangerous proposition unless your data really does look like "bla bla" which I somewhat doubt. Usually a delimited file like this will quote specific fields because they may contain the delimiter, in this case a semi-colon. Are you sure "bla bla" can't be "blah; blah blah", and then in the future need to still be delimited by the semi-colon?
