/**
* Convert data in CSV (comma separated value) format to a javascript array.
*
* Values are separated by a comma, or by a custom one character delimeter.
* Rows are separated by a new-line character.
*
* Leading and trailing spaces and tabs are ignored.
* Values may optionally be enclosed by double quotes.
* Values containing a special character (comma's, double-quotes, or new-lines)
* must be enclosed by double-quotes.
* Embedded double-quotes must be represented by a pair of consecutive
* double-quotes.
*
* Example usage:
* var csv = '"x", "y", "z"\n12.3, 2.3, 8.7\n4.5, 1.2, -5.6\n';
* var array = csv2array(csv);
*
* Author: Jos de Jong, 2010
*
* @param {string} data The data in CSV format.
* @param {string} delimeter [optional] a custom delimeter. Comma ',' by default
* The Delimeter must be a single character.
* @return {Array} array A two dimensional array containing the data
* @throw {String} error The method throws an error when there is an
* error in the provided data.
