How to extract an unescaped value?

yk010123
Path Finder

I have the following data : 

query="select field  from table where (status!="Y")  and ids.id IN ["123","145"] limit 500" params="{}"

How can I extract the field query ignoring the special characters? 

My query .... | table query params Is cut off when it reaches the status field. 

How can I extract everything regardless of the special characters? 

Is there any recommended format that I should change my logs to make them easier to parse?
