Default importing text file data into excel

When importing text file data into excel and setting delimiters there is no
option for the character that looks like this (l). Excel provides options
for comma, tab, semi-colon etc but not for that particular character, and
there is no way to insert that character in the option for other. Anyone
please help!!

Default importing text file data into excel

Hi,

In my version of Excel (2003) using the import wizard you check 'Other' and
then type the delimeter you want.
