errors after exporting a few attachments with the following:

I'm guessing to reproduce, have a file that has a | in it. and try and export.

Sorry for taking so long to get to this.
Just tried this and on macOS I'm unable to reproduce, so must be Windows-specific.

I've just made a change that should fix this, please try again, but first pip install signal-export==1.5.5. And if it still doesn't work, please share some more detail from the error (looking for the line in main.py where the error happened!).
