Split String

What It Does

Divides a text string into smaller parts based on a separator character or string. This is useful for breaking comma-separated lists, space-separated words, or any delimited text into individual items.

Inputs

NameDescriptionTypeRequired
valueThe text to split into partsStringYes
separatorThe character or string that marks where to splitStringNo

Outputs

NameDescriptionType
valueAn array containing the separated partsList

How to Use It

  1. Drag the Split String node into your graph.
  2. Connect a text string (like "red,green,blue") to the "value" input.
  3. Set the "separator" to the character that divides your items (like ",").
  4. The output will be a list of individual items (["red", "green", "blue"]).

Tips

  • The default separator is a comma (,).
  • If the separator is not found in the input string, the output will be an array with just the original string.
