Title: item delimiter

Doug,   I've always chosen numToChar(1) as an item delimiter when I needed something special. Hasn't let me down yet...   Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Site: http://www.sonsothunder.com/ ----- Original Message ----- From: Ivers, Doug E To: Revolution (E-mail) Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 7:08 AM Subject: item delimiter What is the "safest" char to use as an item delimiter when you don't know anything about the text?  I realize that arrays don't have the delimiter delimma, but my question is about lists.  What ascii char is least likely to be used by some foreign language as either a letter or as a punctuation mark?  Can I use one of the codes between 0 and 7 or between 14 and 31 as an item delimiter? -- D
