Sure, that is the help for CommaText, not the help for Delimiter or
DelimitedText. In the latter documentation it makes no mention of SDF
(System Data Format) format usage - which apparently has the Comma or
Space character requirement.

DelimitedText docs say:  "individual strings are separated by the
character specified by the Delimiter property."

I guess this boils down to the interpretation of the Delphi
documentation then.
