Delimiter
A data record term.
Within a data file, a delimiter marks the end of one piece of data and the beginning of another.
For example a line of data in a text file might look like this:
Jones,John,49
This file uses a comma as a delimiter. Other common delimiters are semi-colon and tabs.
A delimiter allows a software application to read (import) a data file and easily split it up into data fields.
