DelimitedSequence
DelimitedSequence[form]
represents a delimited sequence of elements of the specified form in Interpreter and related functions.
DelimitedSequence[form,sep]
assumes a separator that matches sep.
DelimitedSequence[form,{left,sep,right}]
assumes left and right delimiters matching left and right, respectively.
Details
- DelimitedSequence[form] allows any sequence of objects of type form separated by white space or punctuation in a way that cannot occur inside the objects.
- The separator sep and delimiters left and right can be literals or string patterns.
- Restricted can be used to put restrictions on the length of the sequence.

Applications (1)
Use DelimitedSequence in a form to accept a simple list of elements:
Possible Issues (2)
DelimitedSequence of all types that use the connection to the Wolfram Cloud will only use a semicolon as an automatic delimiter, to avoid confusion with natural-language names of elements:
You can still explicitly specify delimiters:
When DelimitedSequence fails to parse an element in the sequence the whole result is a Failure object:
