Option 2: The item delimiter can be multiple characters so you can set it to something that would never likely be in the text. Example: Set the itemdel to "<neverHappenInMyText>"

Since you may have any number and kind of characters in any of the fields in each record, I would append a character that is unlikely ever to appear in any context. I like numToChar(202), but others like numToChar(3) or numtoChar(8). Then you can set the itemDelimiter to that char, and be sure that you are parsing the totality of each field within any record.
