Frequently Asked Questions
What can I use as a delimiter?
Any text, from a single character like a comma or pipe to a whole word. The text is split everywhere that exact delimiter appears.
Does it trim the pieces?
If Trim each piece is ticked, spaces at the start and end of each piece are removed so the list is clean.
How is this different from flattening a list?
Flattening handles several common separators at once. This tool splits on the one exact delimiter you choose, which is handy for an unusual separator.
What if the delimiter is not found?
The whole text comes back as a single line, since there was nothing to split on.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The split runs in your browser and your text never leaves the tab.
