Specifying Control Characters
Lists of symbols are used to designate characters for properties like Field Component Separator, Line Terminator, and Field Separator.
Individual symbols can be expressed in several forms. Numbers and letters, for example, can be entered using single quotes, such as `A', `B', `C'. Control characters or other Unicode values can be expressed using their decimal value, or their hex value by preceding it with 0x - 128 or 0x80, for example. In addition, certain control characters have alternate mnemonic representations, and Stylus Studio supports them, as well.
When entering multiple symbols for a given property, separate symbols using a comma.
The following table summarizes commonly used control characters. For more information, visit
