Replacement Query in a file

Hi All,
Please can you help me with below, i have a file with records ( eg of one record below)
Record R1 - The field separtaor between records is | (Pipe)
Code:
 |123|Mukesh\r\n|Vivek"sharma|


Now i want to do the following for each record in the file
if there is any field ( lets say field is F1) in the record having \r\n ( carriage return and new line coming together ) or single quotes i have to do the following
Replace single quotes with Double quotes
and put the entire field in opening and closing double quotes like this "F1"
so the output should be like for record R1

Code:
|123|"Mukesh\r\n"|"Vivek""sharma"|

Enclosing the ENTIRE post in CODE tags isn't the right way either!

For the LIST DIRECTIVE, REMOTE and/or CODE can be empty: LIST "" "" - list all configured remote names LIST REMOTE "" - list all codes of REMOTE LIST REMOTE CODE - list only CODE of REMOTE The SIMULATE command only works if it has been explicitly enabled in lircd. -h --help display usage summary -v --version display version -d --device use given lircd socket [/var/run/lirc/lircd] -a --address=host[:port] connect to lircd at this address -# --count=n send command n times EXAMPLES
