is there a way to export these symbols?

run2-

Hello!
Is there a way to export to .csv files with the symbols "{" and "}" in their names?

Here is what is happening when I try to do it.

M-Files: ATT0110{1}.pdf

Excel .csv: .\Files\Archived\ATT0110}.pdf

This only happens in the "file path" column, the "name" column displays the symbols correctly.
Maybe there's another way to export this data or any changes to be made?

    Have you tried to open CSV file with a more "neutral" client like notepad or notepad++ ? Because in my experience, Excel takes freedom to reencode the CSV to show in tabular "Excel" format. That reecoding sometimes causes issues like that.

    And once you open it with excel, it says that re-encoded state. So if you wanna try it out, try with a freshly exported CSV
