split

Splits a string into a list of substrings based on a specified delimiter.

Syntax

split(text)
split(text, delimiter)
split(text, delimiter, maxsplit)

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
text	string	Yes	The source string to split.
delimiter	string	Optional	The substring to use as the split point. Defaults to ",".
maxsplit	integer	Optional	The maximum number of splits to perform. Defaults to -1, which splits at every occurrence.

Returns

Type: list[string]

A list of substrings resulting from the split operation.

Examples

Split a comma-separated value:

split([categories])

If categories is "Network,Hardware,Software", the result is ["Network", "Hardware", "Software"].

Split with a custom delimiter:

split([full_name], " ")

If full_name is "Jane Marie Doe", the result is ["Jane", "Marie", "Doe"].

Limit the number of splits:

split("one:two:three:four", ":", 2)

Result: ["one", "two", "three:four"].

Notes

• If the delimiter is not found in the string, the result is a single-element list containing the entire string.
• The text argument must be a string. Passing a non-string value raises a TypeError.
• The default delimiter is a comma (","), making this function convenient for CSV-style values.
