Is it possible to use READ to read a delimited file? i.e.:

With a little work, yes. If you want to store the characters between
"|" in separate strings, you can

(1) Read each line into a large string with an "internal read"

read (iunit,"(a)") text

(2) Loop through "text" to determine the positions of the the
delimiters.

And INDEX() intrinsic may be of help here.
