Set Files

A set file is a text file used to store pipe-delimited sets, with a single set on each line. The line syntax is:

Element_1 | Element_2 | ... | Element_N

Each element can appear only once in each set. Any whitespace characters around the pipes "|" are ignored. Elements cannot contain any pipes themselves.

See the Text Formatting Rules for additional information.
