User Defined Delimitation

It is possible to use any desired single character delimiter to separate information on a single line. The following example demonstrates a user defined delimiter file that uses a colon for the field delimiter:

0543166:Oranges:Perishable
17890:Flower Pots:Breakable
1203768:Apples:Perishable
1029384:Bananas:Perishable

Since there are four lines in the file, four different items with three different types of data would be printed.
