Many data adapters that process delimited files (such
as BIztalk) have the ability to define an escape
character, that, when its used, means that the
following character that you would normally treat as a
delimiter, shouldn't be treated as a delimiter.

This is so you can do things like having a file with
the contents of:

FirstName1, LastName1, Phone1, Zip1
FirstName2, LastName2, Phone2, Zip2
FirstName3, Last\,Name3, Phone3, Zip3

Where if \ was your escape character, it would mean
that the third last name in that list was Last.Name3
and wouldn't treat the comma as a delimiter.
