I've been asked to modify an existing bcp export to use ctrl+v as the delimiter instead of |. Does anyone know what ctrl+v translates to in text?

ctrl+v is the Paste action. I don't think you can use it as a delimiter. I'm pretty sure that delimiters need to be characters and not key combinations.

They told me the octal number is /026 but I can't use that. I'm with you, I'm not sure if there's a combination of characters to represent ctrl+v or not.

Octal 026 is Hex 16, so you can represent it as 0x16

It's an ASCII control code SYN (Synchronous Idle)
