Uhmm, this is interesting and disappointing.

In my original feature request I only used the semi-colon as an example to describe the delimited text string that should be importable, I never dreamed that it would be taken so literally.

Once the function became available I was pleased that it met my needs, but assumed that steps had been taken to make it more universally applicable.

As you mentioned in a post upstream, it would appear that an option needs to be available so that the user can declare what Keyword Delimiter has been used - just as we declare what delimiter is used for the import file.

Thank you for the correction and the insight,
