Split Text

This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels

Summary

Split Text breaks a text into several sections based on delimiter, pattern, character width, or line. This tool is often used to separate comma-separated lists, break down long paragraphs, or prepare data for further processing. Understand the separation rules so that empty fields and quotes do not produce the wrong output.

Key points

Split can use delimiter, regex, fixed width, or newline
The empty field between two fixed delimiters is calculated as the part
A simple comma-split CSV can damage the quoted field.
The limit parameter limits the number of split-out parts
Check the number and content of the section after separation
