The guest book is designed to be saved into the file system at the web server. Since the flat file is just served s a text storage, we may delimit the data in a standard way. so that later on the data can be presented as required. There are two segments we need to consider for delimiters, one is for the row delimiter another is a column delimiter. so we will use ~ to differentiate each row. and with in the row we can use | to delimit the columns

The saved GuestBook.Txt can be parsed with another one Web Page for loading data in to the screen by using a Split () function
'~' To delimit a guest entry
'|' To delimit attributes as name email and comments
