I'd = say we've performed a few thousand migrations like these over the years. = Once you understand the basic bulk data movement / ETL tools = (SQL*Loader, bcp, LOAD), it's easy to programmatically handle things = like quotes, ascii control characters, etc. Definitely a case of effort = up front paying off later.
