How to set blank as encapsulating char in loading flat data files

in Workbench

Hi, I want to load data in flat files to DOMO using Workbench.

My workbench is Workbench4.

 

Each field is delimited by a Tab (so it is a TSV file) and there is no encapsulating char around a field.

I want to load the files as they are, but Workbench does not allow me to set blank in "Encapsulate Fields With" text box in Source section.

 

How can I do it?

    I don't believe the csv parser in workbench allows for no encapsulating character. Usually if you put in double-quote or single-quote, or some more obscure character like tilde, that will allow your file to parse correctly.
