Comment on ASCII Delimited Text – Not CSV or Tab Delimited Textparent

Comments

But that’s my point. The person I responded to was objecting that they might want to use control characters like ASCII 30 as values in a field. As you and I agree, that will never happen.

What about the cases where people don’t want to use it but still do?

People C&P values from a source that includes those characters and they‘ll break your export file
