I didn't try it but shouldn't you be able to set up quoting using the
options for the configurable text exporter?
>From the ssconvert manual page:
OPTIONS FOR THE CONFIGURABLE TEXT (*.txt) EXPORTER
quote The character or string used for quoting fields. Defaults to
"\"" (quotation mark / double quote).
quoting-mode
When does data need to be quoted? "never", "auto" (puts quotes
where needed), or "always". Defaults to "never".
quoting-on-whitespace
Controls whether initial or terminal whitespace forces quoting.
Defaults to TRUE.
