Does your data include ascii 30 and 31?

As a co-op student I used a library to achieve fool proof encoding in csv so it escaped and quoted everything as necessary so commas,\, and quotes and any other character could be included in the data, but it was rejected since the plain text files were difficult to read and edit by hand!

One typical scenario is to embed a CSV (or whatever it is called) into another one.
