If you want to use a delimiter, then I would do something like Base64 encode the string and use a tag to specify each info string (XML works nice). Like this:

<SaveInfoString>SomeBase64Encodeddata</SaveInfoString>

What assurances do I have that the text "<SaveInfoString>" will not be used in the SaveInfo string after it has been Base64 Encoded? I'm starting to think that a binary file might be better than a text file. Where would I start? I have no experience with binary files.
