Another approach would be to use the django ORM in the python shell.
>From your project run
python manage.py shell
Now you can paste this code in
from arches.app.models.tile import Tile
tiles = Tile.objects.all()
for tile in tiles:
for value in tile.data.values():
if isinstance(value, unicode):
if "|" in value:
print tile.resourceinstance_id
print value
