I believe the main term used when dealing with splitting content is "delimited". So, line-delimited values, or something?

Indexed-data file with line-separated values.

Looking at the title, I thought that you were looking for a ...

Are you sure that's not an INI file?

This is the closest that comes to my mind. INI format is exactly what you've got there, except yours is missing the = sign between the key and value. You have section headers followed by a bunch of key value pairs that only apply to that section.
Now you may not be using for configuration data, which is what INI format files are typically used for, but I don't think that's a requirement of the format per se.

Unless I{m missing something, it looks like columnar data to me.

Please take a look - can you confirm the term "columnar" for this kind of file/record layout?:

750cZiel des Lehrbuches ist es, einen umfassenden šberblick aller Arten von Verkehrstr„ger (Flug-, Bahn-, Straáen- und Schiffsverkehr) und deren Bedeutung im Tourismus zu geben. Hierzu wurde ein Referenzmodell fr alle Verkehrstr„ger entwickelt, welches aus den Grundelementen Markt & Strategie, Produktionsfaktoren, Marketing & Vertrieb, Dienstleistung Reise sowie Unternehmenssteuerung besteht. Dieses theoretische Modell wurde auf die spezifischen Eigenheiten der einzelnen Verkehrstr„ger angepasst, jedoch weitestgehend vergleichbar strukturiert. Den Abschluss jedes Kapitels bilden m"gliche Prfungsfragen, Internetquellen sowie Literaturhinweise. Das Lehrbuch wendet sich an Studenten des Grund- und Hauptstudiums der Studienrichtung Tourismus. "Der Aufbau des Buchs entspricht absolut den Bedrfnissen, welche ich an ein Lehrmittel auf Stufe Bachelor stelle. Die vielen Praxisbeispiele machenes fr Studierende von Fachhochschulen zu einem geeigneten und bersichtlich gestalteten Werk."

I'd say yes, column delimited. You have three columns. Number, space or lower case letter, then the data. I'm assuming you have text wrap on in the case of line 750. Just odd that they didn't delimit it better.

It comes close to an ini file, but I'd go with Walt's columnar data term.
|
|
|
|
|
Distributed recordset ?
My English is permanently under construction. Be patient !!
|
|
|
|

This reminds me of an EDI file.
I assume it cannot handle a MULTI-LINE value.
I assume only ONE value per line
Since it has multiple record types inside one file,
I agree that it looks like an INI file without equal signs, or [] sections.
I would start by calling a single file with ONE set of values:
A Space Delimited KEY VALUE file. But you could simplify it by calling it a Key Value file.
The fact that multiple headers can exist, implies some level or hierarchy.
So, I get to:
Hierarchical Key Value File (Sounds nice and formal)
or a
Multi-Section Key Value File
Organized Key Value File
Multi Key Value File
EDIType Key Value File
Hopefully that gets you started
Now are you going to design an event driven parser. Where each time it finds a header, it calls an event to get it parsed until the next hearder?

Yeah, I think I'll go with Key-Value file 
Kirk 10389821 wrote: Now are you going to design an event driven parser. Where each time it finds a header, it calls an event to get it parsed until the next hearder?
I'll split it into Key-Value pairs first without caring for the values and then pass the list of Key-Value pairs to the next processing stage. I don't need events there but if someone who wants to use my reader-code from the Tip/Trick I'm going to write needs events he'll still be able to implement them on the list of Key-Value pairs

I appreciate your intent, Gerry, but I'm certain that it won't evolve: It's not my own creation, it's a standard originating from the seventies and the basic structure hasn't changed since

I threw "evolution" in as an "extra"; I guess I failed to make my point.
"Key Value Pair" sounds like IT-speak or something from a grocery flyer.
|
|
|
|
|
IT-speak is alright because the only reason I'm looking for a term for it is my intention to write an Article/Tip/Trick for it

what do mean by exchange formats?
fixed format, as in cobol comes to mind,
or space delimited,
or series data?
|
|
|
|
|
It's newline-delimited. I'm just wondering if there's a term for it, like CSV for comma-separated.
What is your notion of series data?

Isn't CSV technically newline-delimited as well as comma separated?
I guess series data, I was thinking if it's ordered like time series, but none of the values are datetime. Not sure if that makes sense.

Sure. Then "my" format would be "empty-line-delimited and newline-separated"
wizardzz wrote: I was thinking if it's ordered like time series, but none of the values are datetime.
No, that's not the right term for it then. I think I'll go with "something key-value something"
