And, Bill, do you actually mean
ASCII character 6
(no quotes, no zeroes), which is quite likely, since it will never turn up
as a normal text character? That makes a good separator. Or something else?
"06" (as text) could not work as a delimiter since it could turn up as text
and there's no ASCII character "06"; ASCII number "6" (namely 54) or "06" (
i.e. same as ASCII number "0" = 49) shouldn't work either, even 'as
integer', for the same reasons.
