I use UpdateCSV to feed my data into SOLR and it works very well. The
only thing I don't understand is how to properly escape the encapsulator
and the backslash.
An example with the default encapsulator ("):
"This is a text with a \"quote\""
"This gives one \ backslash"
"This gives two backslashes before the \\\"quote\""
"This gives an error \\"quote\""

So what if I want only one backslash before the quote, e.g. the
unescaped data looks like this:
Text with \"funny characters
(a real backslash before a real quote not an escaped quote)

I know this isn't common and perhaps it would be possible to find an
encapsulator that will be very, very unlikely to be found in the data
but you can never be sure.
So is there a way to correctly escape or otherwise encode all possible
combinations of special characters?
