How to preserve new line character while performing psql copy command - postgresql

Question

I have following content in my csv file(with 3 columns):
141413,"\"'/x=/></script></title><x><x/","Mountain View, CA\"'/x=/></script></title><x><x/"
148443,"CLICK LINK BELOW TO ENTER^^^^^^^^^^^^^^","model\
\
xxx lipsum as it is\
\
100 sometimes unknown\
\
travel evening market\
"
When I import above mentioned csv in mysql using following command, it treats the backslash() as new line; which is the expected behavior.
LOAD DATA INFILE '1.csv' INTO TABLE users FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '\"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';
MYSQL Output
But when I try to import to psql using copy command, it treats \ as a normal character.
copy users from '1.csv' WITH (FORMAT csv, DELIMITER ',', ENCODING 'utf8', NULL "\N", QUOTE E'\"', ESCAPE '\');
postgres Output

Answer 1

Try parsing these \ before importing the CSV file, e.g. using perl -pe or sed and the STDIN from psql:
$ cat 1.csv | perl -pe 's/\\\n/\n/g' | psql testdb -c "COPY users FROM STDIN WITH (FORMAT csv, DELIMITER ',', ENCODING 'utf8', NULL "\N", QUOTE E'\"', ESCAPE '\');"
This is how it looks like after the import:
testdb=# select * from users;
id | company | location
--------+-----------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
141413 | "'/x=/></script></title><x><x/ | Mountain View, CA"'/x=/></script></title><x><x/
