Javascript RegEX edit dynamic selected options

Greeings All;

I have a script that dynamically appends all highlighted items in a select box to a textarea, See code below.

What I'd like to have happen is to have the highlighted items in the select box appended to 2 separate textarea boxes (and have just the item enclosed in quotations appear in the 1st textarea box).

Results:

Highlighted item: "7934,Ms 7934" <7934@something.com>,

Textarea1 Textarea2
7934,Ms 7934 "7934,Ms 7934" <7934@something.com>,

<html>

<script>
function Copyall()
  {
    var container = document.Pinebox
    var qube = container.dataadded

    var numofqubeions = qube.length
    var itemspicked = new Array

    var j = 0
    for (i=0; i<numofqubeions; i++)
    {
      if (qube[i].selected === true)
      {
        itemspicked[j] = qube[i].value
        j++
      }
    }

    itemspicked = itemspicked.join(" ")

    document.getElementById("MrSpock").innerHTML = itemspicked
}


</script>
<body>


<form method=POST name="Pinebox">

<select name="dataadded" id="dataadded" multiple onchange='Copyall()' rows="5" cols="45">
<option>"7934,Ms 7934" <7934@something.com>,</option>
