SAINT classification quote escaping

I would say that spaces would not be considered "special characters", spaces are shown in the example in that documentation, and still aren't listed in the list of characters to escape.

Basically, the files that Adobe uses are .tsv (tab separated values)

The reason that these four characters are listed as needing to be escaped is:

• \t tab character - this is the specified delimiter for the file, any unescaped values in your data will cause the file to break columns unintentionally sending data that should be part of column D for example, into column E, and shifting all content from E+ into the wrong columns
• \r form feed character / \n newline character - these are essentially "new line" characters (different systems use these characters in different combinations, hence why there are multiple specified here), which you don't want to trigger in the middle of the line, let's say you have one or both of these characters in the content of column M, this will cause the data from column N to start processing as a new line (into column A) breaking the current line from sending all data, and corrupting a new line of data
• " double quote - while you can't see this in excel, once data is in csv or tsv formatting, string values are encapsulated in double quotes, while numeric values are not...  let's say you have the value of I'm using "quotes" for emphasis, this will come out in the feed as "I'm using "quotes" for emphasis" - to a feed, this will look like multiple values with an unrecognized value in the middle, it will see "I'm using " and " for emphasis", and it won't know how to parse this one column of data, or what to do with the random quotes in the middle.
