CalviŐ˛ a delimiter can be any character you want it to be. It just has to be unique (ie not in whatever your aiming to split) for it to be effective. eg "applexorangexpear" I can use 'x' as the delimiter here and still get the same result as my comma example.

Something to separate a string of text. Most common would probably be commas. Eg "apple, orange, pear" In this example it's currently one string. If I use the comma as a delimeter, I can find each fruit within the string. It's a common method to import data into a database.
