Delimited records are records whose fields can vary in length. In a data file that contains delimited records, the records and fields are separated by a delimiter. The following data file uses a vertical bar (|) as the field delimiter and a carriage return as the record delimiter:
John Brown|100 Main St.|Citadel|LA|215/887-1931 Mary Smith|3141 Temple Way|Chesapeake|AZ|415/812-9919 Larry Little|44 Elm Rd. # 6|Boston|MA|617/184-1231
The ipload utility uses the vertical bar and carriage return as the default field and record delimiters. For instructions on how to choose a different delimiter, see Modifying Delimited-Format Options.
