carriage return should be escaped if in the content #50

I found that "carriage return" should be escaped in the content otherwise the single row of data will be split into different rows.

But I can use'\r' to identify the newline, not sure if this is an issue.

The carriage returns are encoded in a way that a read_csv command or Excel will be able to interpret them.

If you are manually scanning the output line-by-line, that is not a typical case.
