[edit] Suggested merge

Delimited has more links to it, but I don't like the idea of a past tense word for the article name. Plinth molecular gathered 15:10, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Merge to "delimiter." Right now "delimited" looks the higher quality article, but "delimiter" is more consistent with the way articles are named on Wikipedia. Assuming "delimiter" doesn't say anything "delimited" doesn't say better, it might be a simple matter of replacing the text of "delimiter" with that of "delimited" and turning "delimited" into a redirect.

[edit] rename to Delimiter-separated values

this article should probably be renamed with the dash, since it is a compound adjective. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dreftymac (talk • contribs) .

Done. — xaosflux Talk 00:44, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] escaping of delimiters etc

Might be useful to have some mention of other solutions to delimiter escaping, e.g. CSV can deal with embedded delimiters (comma) and embedded escapes (double-quote)

[edit] Quotes

Why are the entries in the example quoted? There seems no reason for this.

[edit] RFC

One may mention that CSV is a part of RFC http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4180.txt --Csmth (talk) 07:57, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I am wrong. This article is not specific for CSV. Ignore my comment. --Csmth (talk) 08:04, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
