Path Files

Path files are text files that contain paths from a particular graph. In the most general sense, a path is an ordered list of vertices (or nodes), where the vertex in position i is connected to the vertex in position i+1 by an edge (or link). A single path appears on each line of these files, with the syntax:

Vertex_1 | Vertex_2 | ... | Vertex_N

Any whitespace characters around the pipes "|" are ignored.
