I have a messy, pipe-delimited ("|") input dataset.
I would like to create a file of ID plus each component of field 4 which is delimited by ";" into a long, skinny shape for easier processing.
A couple of complications are that field 4 may contain both commas and linefeed characters from the source.
Sample data looks like:

I
Is there an elegant way to do this at the command line?
Thanks!
What have you tried to solve this problem?
I don't see anything in your description that explains why the transformations shown in red above happened. What input characters are supposed to be changed to spaces in the output? (The string "\n" is not a linefeed character, but it can be used in a format string to cause some programs to print a linefeed character.) What input characters are supposed to be deleted from the output?
