Specifies the character(s) used to separate columns in a stringSyntax:
the columnDelimiter
Examples:
set the columnDelimiter to comma
put the columnDelimiter into tColumnDelimiter
set the columnDelimiter to ";;"
Use the columnDelimiter property in conjunction with the [[split command]] to divide text into an array of columns or with the [[combine command]] to combine an array of columns into a string.
From LiveCode 7.0, columnDelimiter can be a string of one or several characters.
Since the columnDelimiter is a local property, its value is reset to tab when the current handler finishes executing. It retains its value only for the current handler and setting it in one handler does not affect its value in other handlers called.
