Hi, attached a org-table-import.patch removes limitations of hard-coded separator char(s). `org-guess-separator' accepts and detects all chars as field separators. It works based on the assumption, that char looked for appears in equal number at each row. Also a default value `org-table-import-default-separator' should make guessing faster in some cases.
