Description

The columns data type is a chunk type of string that represents a chunk of text delimited by the columnDelimiter. This includes empty columns but not the last trailing empty column of the string, if there is one.

Note

Accessing an column chunk that is out of range returns empty. Modifying an column chunk that is out of range inserts as many columnDelimiters as necessary to insert text in the appropriate column of the parent string.
