The fark? I mean, in my entire career the standard has either been fixed-length (which, as a rule, kinda sucks) or delimited. Seems like a special kinda stupid blend them and get the worst aspects of each.
What about your lunch career today?

Well. It's Thursday, so by rights it ought to be Arby's/Panera, but this is an odd week, and I still have an untouched loaf of sourdough Scratchchin

Idiots want a delimited data file as output from my enterprise database. But inside that delimited file, they specified fixed-length data fields. Ummm, why would you want me to pad something out to thirty farking characters, when it's an eight-digit integer field? Wasteful, much?
I am not as knowledgeable about such things as much as you frogs, but wouldn't you just want to fix it to 8 or make it a floating point integer?

Floating point and integer are mutually exclusive data types Glasses2
If it's truly a delimited file, there's no good reason to make any of the column widths fixed.

No, it just means I don't need to pick up a new loaf yet.
I haven't decided what I'm having yet.

I just got a coupon in the mail for a free Arby's classic roast beef with purchase of a small drink. So I think I will be going there this fine day.

Looks like I'm going to a local place down the road with a couple guys here. It used to be a relatively well-known Texas BBQ joint, they'd bring country stars that were playing in Omaha there. Since that guy retired, this is the 2nd or 3rd place that's set up shop in the building.

You've hit the nail squarely on the head, sir.
"A very special kind of stupid", indeed.

Well, that was a disappointment. A couple coworkers are hereby excluded from making lunch recommendation. I was better than Applebee's chicken fried steak, but not as good as Village Inn or IHOP's.
