import from text record delimiters

Does mysql support importing a database that has been exported to text but with field and record delimiters other than "type-able" keys. The records I am importing will likely have returns and tabs within fields(even just one will skew everything).

For example: can I specify a delimiter using the char() function, and up to what level of ascii can I go?
ascii 127 or is there support for extended type ascii sets at all? I have always exported my database with delimiters that people simply could not have entered from the keyboard.

Thanx in advance for any input.

John
