Gets or sets a sequence of characters used to separate strings stored in one metadata field (such as **IptcKeyword**).
 
**Namespace:** [Aurigma.ImageUploader](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/JA_N_Aurigma_ImageUploader.htm.md)
 **Assembly:** Aurigma.ImageUploader (in Aurigma.ImageUploader.dll)
 
## Syntax
  
```csharp
public string ValueSeparator { get; set; }
```
 
### Property Value
 
Type: [System..String](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/s1wwdcbf)
 
The sequence of characters used to separate strings stored in one metadata field.
 
Default value is **" "**.
 
## Remarks
  
Some metadata fields like **IptcKeyword** can contain multiple string values. Suppose, you upload an image which contains several keywords: `portrait`, `old photo`, `black and white`. All these keywords are stored in one **IptcKeyword** field. If you specified this field for upload (using the [Iptc](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/JA_P_Aurigma_ImageUploader_Metadata_Iptc.htm.md) property) the `IptcKeyword_0` POST field will contain all these keywords gathered into one string separated with this property value. For example, if you set it to the `";"` you will get the `"portrait;old photo;black and white"` POST field value.
