I've used anything from as simple as a tilda ~ to using short text strings like [ROW] and [COL] as my delimiters.

Every now and again a customer tells me their site isn't working. File: array.taf Position: RecordList Class: Internal Main Error Number: -612 The initialization string does not match the specified row and column dimensions, or the row and column dimensions are inconsistent within the initialization string. Takes me some time to realise that they have have entered a delimiter (, ; etc) in a field that is being used in an array and that all that needs to be done is to edit some database entries (a doddle in FMP). Of course what I really should do is fix the problem. I mean, commas are pretty standard fare for names of events, addresses etc. How do others approach this? Specify different row and column delimiters? Use some sort of encoding of the input field or variable? Use a replace and the character code for commas etc? I just don't want to reinvent the wheel or do 10 lines of code when there is a metatag of parameter I have missed. Any help would be appreciated. BTW T2000 mostly but WT5 also.
