Dialect differences

| Property | in CSV | in TXT |
|---|---|---|
| identifiers | Double quotes; a literal quote is doubled ("" ) | None by convention |
| dates | Conventional text: 2026-09-18 or 2026-09-18 14:30:00 | Whatever the writer produced; no convention is guaranteed |
| separator | Comma "," | Whatever was chosen - often fixed column widths |
