ASCII is the acronym for American Standard Codes for Information Interchange. It is used to determine which character to display when a keyboard key is pressed, or code entered. So it can refer to basic text. A delimited file is a file that includes text separated by commas or full stops or semi-colons or spaces, or whatever the user designates as a delimiter. If you have something like firstnames and surnames and dates of birth, they could be in a file with a comma after each one, indicating to a program that reads the file, like a spreadsheet or database, as to how to arranged the data. If it was being opened by a spreadsheet, it would start putting the data into cells. It would use the delimiter to decided at what point something goes into the next cell. So if you had a firstname, a comma and a surname, the firstname would be put into one cell and the surname into the next cell.

What is tilde delimited?

The term tilde-delimited is used to described a file or data format. Tilde is actually a key symbolized by ~. When someone wants to pass some information such as a 'data file', they can send the data in various formats, such as 'csv' (comma separated values), 'tilde-delimited' etc The advantage with using tilde-delimited format is that it avoid any calculation or reporting related error for numeral values. example: a CSV file for a numbers that already have a format will result in an error in data reporting because the commas used in formatting and in numbers can not be easily differentiated. Usage of 'tilde-delimited' format avoids such data misinterpretation and hence, is a preferred way of data format requests.
