Should be:

        item 3 (delimited by "|") of...

It is.

        item 3 (delimited by "|" or "x") of...

You misunderstood the syntax. The delimiter goes in parentheses after the
word "item".

A better example would be:

if item 3 (delimited by "�") of list1 and item 4 (delimited by "�") of list2
then
  delete item 6 (delimited by "�") of list3
end if

Which can be fully resolved without any obscurity.
