By default, an item is delimited by commas (,).

For example, you can set the <itemDelimiter> to <tab> in order to handle a database file whose fields are tab-<delimit|delimited>.

An item is a string of characters delimited by commas (or the <itemDelimiter> <character>). A single <item> can contain multiple <characters>, multiple <words>, and multiple <lines>.
