where does this string come from - is it a file
if it comes from a file, you can use csv module, if it's just a string - you can use io.StringIO and then csv module

spam = 'asdas asdd sd a2123 3234 "test asd" asda'

import io
import csv
eggs = io.StringIO(spam)

rdr = csv.reader(eggs, delimiter=' ')
for line in rdr:
    print(line)

Output:
['asdas', 'asdd', 'sd', 'a2123', '3234', 'test asd', 'asda']

you can further process the list to get desired output
