A 'tilde' is the '~' mark placed over the letter 'n' as in the Spanish word 'Señor'.

ex: ¿Cuántos años tienes? --> How old are you?

In Spanish, 'ñ' is a letter of its own just like 'a', 'b','c'. 'año' = 'year' and 'ano' = 'backside (ass)'. Therefore, it is important to distinguish between the letter ñ and the letter n.
A tilde is a character on your keyboard. It looks like this: ~ . It is not used in the English language, but some Latin languages use it as a letter modifier. It is pronounced 'TILL-DUH'.

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.

Porque aunque todas las palabras en el español llevan acento, no todas llevan tilde. Acento es la sílaba de una palabra en la cual se realiza una elevación en el tono de la voz y tilde es el símbolo gráfico que se ubica en las vocales cuando una palabra cumple la norma para llevarla. Un saludo.
