## FusionCharts ASP Class API > Advanced Usage > Setting Delimiter
Delimiter is the character used to separate two consecutive attributes within the chart attribute list. FusionCharts uses semicolon (;) as a default delimiter. To replace the default delimiter with a new character, simply call setParamDelimiter() function and pass the new delimiter character through it as shown in the code below:
Call FC.setParamDelimiter("$")
Now you can use '$' as delimiter in the following statements of your program:
strParam="bgColor=CC66CC$canvasBgColor=BC6699$showBorder=1$borderColor=00FF00"
Consider the code below:
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%> <% ' Include FusionCharts ASP Class %> <!--#include file="../Class/FusionCharts_Gen.asp"--> <% dim FC ' Create FusionCharts ASP class object set FC = new FusionCharts ' Set chart type to Column2D Call FC.setChartType("column2D") ' Set chart size Call FC.setSize("450","350") ' Set the relative path of the swf file Call FC.setSWFPath("../FusionCharts/") ' Set colon (:) as delimiter Call FC.setParamDelimiter(":") dim strParam ' Define chart attributes strParam="caption=Weekly Sales:xAxisName=Week:yAxisName=Revenue:numberPrefix=$" ' Set chart attributes Call FC.setChartParams(strParam) ' Add chart values and category names Call FC.addChartData("40800","label=Week 1:alpha=80","") Call FC.addChartData("31400","label=Week 2:alpha=60","") Call FC.addChartData("26700","label=Week 3","") Call FC.addChartData("54400","label=Week 4","") ' Set hash (#) as delimiter Call FC.setParamDelimiter("#") ' Add First TrendLine Call FC.addTrendLine("startValue=42000#color=ff0000#displayvalue=Target#showOnTop=1") ' Set semicolon (;) as delimiter Call FC.setParamDelimiter(";") ' Add Second TrendLine Call FC.addTrendLine("startValue=30000;color=008800;displayvalue=Average;showOnTop=1") %> <html> <head> <title>First Chart - Set Delimiter : Using FusionCharts ASP Class</title> <script language='javascript' src='../FusionCharts/FusionCharts.js'></script> </head> <body> <% ' Render Chart with JS embedding Method Call FC.renderChart(false) %> </body> </html>
The code shows how we can use different delimiters in our programs provided the delimiter is declared before being used.
