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