we have the CSV / SSV. What are the | separated values called?

we have the CSV for comma-separated-values / SSV for semi-colon-seperated-values.

So what is the name for a | separated value?

Btw what even is the name for thhe | symbol? (i remember its a pipe, but i think that's just an unofficial name or smt)

Solution

  • The general form is known as DSV - see http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/taoup/html/ch05s02.html.
