Hi Matti, I don't find your method so dirty - I have used it a lot of times myself. And I use it in table-like arrays with more than 2 columns, all as strings.
However, I use a character which does not appear in normal strings, like TAB (chr$(9)) or chr$(6). To pack and unpack a single line, I use Split and Join which work so incredibly fast they can be used within milliseconds over thousands of strings. As my rule of thumb, when I have a fixed number of columns, I make a number of named one-dimensional arrays, one for each column. If the number of columns is not known, I make a single one-dimensional array of strings and split the columns as described above.
