we have the CSV for comma-separated-values / SSV for semi-colon-seperated-values.

So what is the name for a | separated value?

Btw what even is the name for thhe | symbol? (i remember its a pipe, but i think that's just an unofficial name or smt)

  • According to wikipedia it's called a vertical bar, and has many other names: Sheffer stroke (in logic), verti-bar, vbar, stick, vertical line, vertical slash, bar, pike, or pipe... – Peter Oct 05 '20 at 14:38
  • `|` might have many names but I have only heard programmers call it “bar” or “pipe”. – Guildenstern Nov 07 '20 at 21:52

The general form is known as DSV - see http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/taoup/html/ch05s02.html.

This is commonly known as PSV for pipe-separated-values.
