You can delimit a file however you like. If you need to then import the file
into another program, you should make sure you are delimiting with a
character that it recognises.
e.g
one,two,three - comma delimited
one two three - tab delimited
one|two|three - pipe delimited
Look up the specs on the delimit types that your loan program will accept.
Is it customizable???

Subject: Delimited Text File
Can someone tell me how your delimited text file should look like? Mine is
coming across as the input fields separated by commas, but this producing a
problem when someone is entering a number with a comma in the entry file ie:
10,000.
My text file looks like this:
name,address,city,state,zip,polulation,etc.
Can each filed be separated by a comma and something else like
{name},{address},{etc or |name|,|address|,|city|,
Thanks
Allison
P.S. I import this file into a loan program that calls for a delimited text
file. I am Unix based.
