Delimited Files. In computer programming, a delimited text file is a file in which the individual data values contain embedded delimiters, such as quotation marks, commas, and tabs. A delimiter is a character that separates words or phrases in a text string that defines the beginning or end of a contiguous string of character data.
A comma delimited file is one where each value in the file is separated by a comma. Also known as a Comma Separated Value file, a comma delimited file is a standard file type that a number of different data-manipulation programs can read and understand, including Microsoft Excel.
