STRLST question

Hello,
I want to use STRLST to store list of keywords. Each keywords can be either
a) string without spaces;
b) double-quoted string.
Can I use special symbol (e.g. 0x00) as separator between such keywords in STRLST?
Also, how to escape such special characters in the INSERT statement? How to create string constant that will contain such special characters (\t, \n, \0, etc)?
Thank you

You can use pretty much anything but 0x00 as a strlst delimiter. There's no escapement, you just put it in literally. You could use 0x01 (^A), or such. You can use strfmt to generate the string with delimiters.
