The col
data type is a chunk type of string
that represents a chunk of text delimited by the columnDelimiter
. This includes empty col
s but not the last trailing empty col
of the string
, if there is one.
Accessing a col
chunk that is out of range returns empty
. Modifying a col
chunk that is out of range inserts as many columnDelimiter
s as necessary to insert text in the appropriate col
of the parent string
.
