Exact match delimiter
Description	The selected text is compared on the basis of an indicated delimiter and takes the text length into consideration. Standard behavior: The Exact match delimiter can only be entered at the end of the line. If the Exact match delimiter is placed inside a text string, it will be interpreted as <.
Example	<

Escape Character
Description	Since special characters may perform special functions in certain situations, values have to be entered with a leading escape character if required (Example: tabulator: ~t).
Example	~
