This code should split a tag string provided in a format similar to YouTube or Flickr.
Input string:
tag1 tag2 "tag3 tag4"
Output as a list:
tag1
tag2
tag3 tag4
I'm not entirely positive this works. I just wrote it for a coworker but hopefully it will provide someone with a starting point if it doesn't work.
