Try adding this to the bottom to replace newlines with spaces:

... | eval field1 = replace(field1, "[\r\n]+", " ") ...

You will need to convert into string first.
try this
| eval New_field="\""+tostring(field1)+"\""

Hi Giuseppe

i talk about a csv export by web interface.

the numbers of chars about my field is variable but usually is a large number because is a field description.

thanks
