PICA: Parsing PICA Plain with $ in field values

[nichtich]

It looks like there is a bug when parsing PICA Plain with $ in field values, but the error may be in the source data as well.

Example: http://ddb.qa-catalogue.eu/k10plus_pica/?tab=data&query=&query=*:*&filters[]=005Ax20_ss:*

K10plus PPN 129931373 contains field 005A with (in PICA Plain):

005A $00263-9254$f: L 230.00 (jährl., EU), $$ 435.00 (jährl.)

The $ in second subfield $f is escaped as $$. The subfield value is : L 230.00 (jährl., EU), $ 435.00 (jährl.)

In PICA Normalized the subfield indicator is 0x1F instead of $, so there is no escaping of $.

I found that there are some strange fields with double dollar signs, not just the one, which contains dollar sign in the value of a subfield. Here is an example:

037I $aBraunschweig$$nGeorg-Eckert-Institut - Leibniz-Institut für internationale Schulbuchforschung

(http://ddb.qa-catalogue.eu/k10plus_pica/?tab=data&query=id%3A1734305185)

According to this parsing rule it is interpreted as Braunschweig$nGeorg-Eckert-Institut - Leibniz-Institut für internationale Schulbuchforschung

The parsing rule and its result for the example is right, but the record content seems wrong.

This seems to be fixed so this issue can be closed, no?
