here is the prelim setup:
my $delimiter = ";;;";
my $teststring = "name;;;encryptedpassword;;;date";
my @userdetails = split($delimiter, $teststring);
here is the goal:
I would like to find a delimiter value that I can use to both create and
read from a flat-file database where splitting on the $delimiter doesn't
improperly split either the encryptedpassword value, or a reasonable
date format.
Question:
What would a good value for $delimiter be?
Ive got an idea that my three semicolon approach is not going to stand
up to all possible password encryption schemes, so I probably need
something more bullet proof than this.
