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.
