#3284 — parsing a strig

Hi,
I import a text file with Import[filename,"Table"]. The file has a 
header followed by data. The header contains predefined keywords like 
TITLE, ZONE, VARIABLES, etc.  A VARIABLES line, shown below, is a list 
of 'varname,varunits' pairs, which I need to extract as pairs.

{{VARIABLES,=,'um','I_p,(W/sr/um)','I_a,(W/sr/um)','I_ae,(W/sr/um)','m','I_p,(W/sr/m)','I_a,(W/sr/m)','I_ae,(W/sr/m)'}}

I tried StringSplit[varList,"'"] but got
Out[]:  {{um,,,I_p},{(W/sr/um),,,I_a},{(W/sr/um),,,I_ae},...}}, which is 
wrong.

I tried StringSplit[Drop[vars, 2], "'"] and got
Out[]: {{I_a (W/sr/um)},{I_ae (W/sr/um)},...}}, which miss the first 
variable 'um'.

How can I parse this?
Thanks in advance,
--Ted
