What is a variable-length record?

What will be an ideal response?


A programmer can structure a file containing employee records using characters and words grouped together, with each individual employee record on a separate line in a file. Information about an employee in each separate line or record can be divided by separator characters or delimiters, such as colons. This type of record is called a variable-length record, because the length of each field bounded by colons can vary.
