If there is no problem with the solution i provided for parse() earlier, then do
something like this:

pick a char not in the data, like "_", or 1. 
(i have a routine for that, but i do natural language parsing)
when parsing, replace the ,, with ,_, or ,1,
then after deparse, delete that artificial blank field token:

string2 = replace(deparse(string1,","),"_","")
or
string2 = replace(deparse(string1,","),1,"")

presto, all done.
