delimited
Marked with boundaries
Delimited means marked off or bounded, especially by clear separators.
In computing and data processing, delimited describes text where fields are separated by specific characters: a comma-delimited file, tab-delimited data.
More generally, something delimited has defined boundaries or limits: The study was delimited to three urban areas.
