Delimiter

A delimiter is one or more characters that separates text strings. Common delimiters are commas (,), semicolon (;), quotes ( ", ' ), braces ({}), pipes(|), or slashes ( / \ ). When a program stores a lot of data it may use a delimiter to separate each of the data values. For example, "john||doe" has two pipe characters as its separator, the program could easily distinguish between a first and last name.
