deliminator: /de·lim'·in·ay·t@r/, n. [portmanteau, delimiter + eliminate] A string or pattern used to
delimit text into fields, but which is itself eliminated from the resulting
list of fields. This jargon seems to have originated among Perl hackers in
connection with the Perl split() function; however, it has been sighted in
live use among Java and even Visual Basic programmers.
