You could try using replace() function or simply write a routine that
seeks out these characters, splits the string and escapes the
characters.

One thing comes to mind, you may truncate some of the field content by
inserting escape characters ...

There might be a way to simply dump the content to a text file, run a
shell script to do a global search and replace and read back the final
output.
