File Escape Character

The escape character applied to the file formats that BimlFlex generates for Data Factory and Databricks.

The value is emitted as the escape character of the generated Data Factory delimited text datasets, and as the escape option of the Databricks COPY INTO and read_files file handling. In Fabric pipelines, the escape character is emitted only when a quote character is also set. For source-stage file connections, the escape character defined on the source object is used instead of this setting. When the setting is blank, no escape character is emitted.

When to Change This Setting​

Set an escape character when the delimited files use one that the generated datasets and Databricks reads must honor.
