In some cases a database may not be used and the data may be written to a text file with delimiters such as "comma (csv)", pipe etc. The data can still be manipulated and formatted in various ways. In the following examples you will see that we wrote ColdFusion code to collect a visitors information and rather than insert the data into a database, we appened the collected data to a text file using PIPE (|) delimiters. The administrator or owner of the site is able to easily create a Mircosoft Excel file, so that they can use the data as they desire for perhaps mailing lists etc.
