Description | Use the item keyword to refer to a specific chunk of data in a container. By default, an item is delimited by commas (,). However, you can set the itemDelimiter property to any character in order to directly address chunks delimited by that character. For example, you can set the itemDelimiter to tab in order to handle a database file whose fields are tab-delimited. An item is a string of characters delimited by a single comma (or a single one of the itemDelimiter character). A single item can contain multiple characters, multiple words, and multiple lines.
