In order to support long file names which can contain embedded spaces, we have changed the default file delimiter, used to delimit lists of files and directories, to a TAB. This is the "default" file delimiter. We have added the ability to change the file delimiter to a character of your own choosing, using the new IntControl (29,p1,0,0,0). The most important functions affected by this change are: DirItemize which now return lists delimited by the current file delimiter character. The following functions, which take file or directory lists as input parameters, now expect the lists to be delimited by the current file delimiter character. However, they also accept lists delimited with a vertical bar ("|"), which may be easier to code in a WIL script:

Note: DiskFree and DiskSize continue to accept space-delimited lists as input.
