# categorical-delimited

The `categorical-delimited` **parser** will load data from a column in a source data table and split values on a delimiter to become multiple categorical **variables** within a **collection**.

```
{
  "parser_type": "categorical-delimited",
  "table_alias": "tata",
  "column": "ccc1",
  "delimiter": "|",
  "indexes": [
    0,
    2
  ],
  "collection": "collection_name"
}
```

## delimiter

**usage: *required*** The `delimiter` attribute specifies the string that separates multiple values in this column.

## indexes

**usage: *optional*** The indexes attribute specifies explicit indexes for including values from the delimted list after splitting on the delimiter.
