That would just produce
xx|xy|xz

export ascii out=myfilename r=\n f=| o=|
would produce
|xx||xy||xz
Not very useful without "|"&xx

export ascii out=myfilename r=\n f=| c=|
would produce
xx||xy||xz|
Not very useful without xz&"|"

export ascii out=myfilename r=\n o=| c=|
would produce
|xx||xy||xz|
Not very useful without BOTH "|"&xx and xz&"|"
