Hi All,

I need to change the itemdel and i want it work with OSX, windows, Linux and web.
(Some items of the list contains a coma)
Is it reasonable using "•" or "∆" ?

Hi Jean-Marc,

JAMAIS! These have different ASCII values on Mac and Win and probably *NIX!
So they will fail in crossplatform use!

I always use numtochar(1)!
Since this is a character that cannot be entered into text by any user via any keyboard :D


Best

<g> Not at all - I figured the ASCII End-of-Text character was a fitting itemDelimiter, no?
