If you are running LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE from the windows shell, and you need to use OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"', you will have to do something like this in order to escape characters properly:

"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysql" -u root --password=%password% -e "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '!file!' INTO TABLE !table! FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"^""' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' IGNORE 1 LINES" --verbose --show-warnings > mysql_!fname!.out
