[fpc-pascal] TStringList Bug?

[Jeremy Cowgar]

I was hoping to use it to parse a pipe delimited file. This will not  
work as I do not want " chars as part of the result, I'd have to add  
it in, then subtract them out. That's kind of weird behavior that a  
delimiter would be forced (space) even when the delimiter field is set.

Thanks for the info though, I'll figure another way.
