in reply to Best X-delimited format?
I just want to jump in for my favorite, "^".
It seems to be rarely used. If you have a "comment" field for humans to use almost all of the other punctuation on the keyboard will be used by somebody.
- Tom's junk.
- 13 @ $4.32 each
- primary john; secondary phil;
- upstairs (behind the door)
But rarely 'tell mark ^ paul'. Plus it hangs high in the line and has space below for visual hooking.
