As a side note, you are aware that such multi-line field content is
valid in CSV if enquoted? If for some reason the processing software
isn't capable to cope with multi-line content I'd rather suggest to only
replace the embedded newlines with spaces, so the actual field content
is preserved instead of stripped.
