--- Comment #7 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
Oh, sorry. Just realized you actually were asking for a "multi-character"
delimiter.

No, unfortunately, we do not implement a multicharacter delimiter, just a
single character--and in your example LO was doing as told and using the first
character you enter in the Filter Settings dialog--so " " (U+0020) delimited.

I guess there is an issue here is that the filter dialog "allows" you to enter
more than 1 character in the field--but it is parsed down to just the first
character. 

The filter dialog was made persistent (OOo issue 3687), but can find no
discussion of implementing a multicharacter delimiter from the OOo era or for
LibreOffice. IMHO such an enhancement is =>WF, otherwise this is NAB.

Personally I would just use the "&" delimiter, and then flush resulting
delimited file through sed to add the leading and trailing spaces.
