Cannot use pipe which has wrapped with double quotes ("|") for a table in spec file

[osandadeshan]

Expected behavior

Should be able to use pipe which has wrapped with double quotes ("|") for a table in spec file

Actual behavior

Cannot use pipe which has wrapped with double quotes ("|") for a table in spec file

Steps to reproduce

1. Write a java method for a data driven test
2. In the spec table provide pipe symbol (|) Ex:

• And the JSON Path Assertions for the response should be equal to the following

  JSON Path	Value
  $.message	error.validation
  $.description	null
  $.fieldErrors[0].objectName
  $.fieldErrors[0].field	question.media
  $.fieldErrors[0].message	must match \"TEXT

3. Try to run
4. It will only take the string before the pipe symbol.

Can you try changing that line to

|$.fieldErrors[0].message |must match "TEXT \|HTML \|IMAGE \|VIDEO \|AUDIO"    |

Escape character will solve this problem. However formatting the spec removes the escape character - https://github.com/getgauge/gauge/issues/318. The problem will then re-occur.
