A delimiter is a character (or multiple characters) that indicates a boundary between fields in a data feed. A common example is the tab character, which delimits fields in a sequence of tab-separated values.
You can change the default delimiter used in data feed files by entering a regular expression into the Feed Delimiter setting. If this field is blank, Emplifi Ratings & Reviews uses the tab character (\t) as the feed delimiter.
Which feeds are affected?
The Feed Delimiter (regex) setting impacts these feeds:
-
Catalog Feed in TurnTo format.
-
Catalog Feed in Catalog-TSV Other format - This is a non-TurnTo format that requires a comma, pipe, or tab-delimiter rather than XML or other format.
-
Historical Order Feed in TurnTo format.
Changing the default delimiter
Steps:
-
In Emplifi Ratings & Reviews, click Settings → Manage Site.
-
In the Feed Delimiter (regex) field, enter your delimiter as a regular expression.
Delimiter Examples
-
To use a pipe character, enter the regex
\|. -
If your feed is comma-separated, enter
,. Commas do not need to be escaped in regular expressions, so no backslash is necessary.
