title: CSV rows wrapped in quotation marks
body: <p>I'm trying to pull in a csv file to R but for some reason the data was output with quotation marks around each row so that if I try to pull it in with read.csv defaults it thinks each row is one observation. Using the option <code>quote = "",</code> at least it reads the columns correctly, but I'm still stuck with the quotation marks in the first and last cells. What's the fastest way to handle this in R without pre-formatting each file?</p>
  
  <p>A sample:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"Year,Month,Day,Hour,Minute,Department,Division,Case_Type,Hundred_Block,Street_Name,Local_Area"
  "2009,2,16,15,45,ENG - Streets,ZZ OLD - Streets Design (Road Ahead),Wheelchair Curb/Ramp Request,18##,SPYGLASS PLACE,Fairview"
  "2009,2,20,9,6,ENG - Transportation,Neighbourhood Parking and Transportation,Residential Parking Requests,10##,E 20TH AV,Kensington-Cedar Cottage"
  "2009,2,27,16,37,ENG - Streets,ZZ OLD - Streets Design (Road Ahead),Wheelchair Curb/Ramp Request,27##,BURRARD ST,Fairview"
  </code></pre>
