Delimiter Column/Row

The delimiter between the individual columns of a data record. Used for document types CSV, Excel and Database. The representation of nonprintable delimiters is supported. Note: If you are using a nested CSV structure, please ensure that only nodes at the lowest hierarchy level contain the delimiter. With larger files, this can otherwise lead to a memory overflow. Example:
