Array Separators

[Mark Terry]

Finding suitable characters for data arrays has always been a  
challenge for me... particularly when the data is likely to contain  
the usual suspects, like CR and tab. I've discovered that chr(0), one  
of my workhorses up until now, has problems in executed procedures.  
And then there's the fact that PC's and Macs don't agree on all the  
characters. either. Trying to do a little research, I stumbled onto  
this link:

Wow. It looks like there might be lots of potential candidates in the  
control characters. I wonder, though, if some of the more arcane  
characters (audible bell, substitute character, device control, start  
of header or text, etc.) aren't still being used somewhere, or have  
acquired new assignments.  Does anyone know which of these characters  
might be good, or bad, and why?

Thanks
