Breaking text apart on a chosen delimiter is clumsy in editors that only search and replace.
Split Text divides the input on the delimiter you set and returns one piece per line.
How to use Split Text Online
- Paste the text you want to break up into the input box.
- Enter the delimiter, and Split Text divides the input wherever it appears, one piece per line.
- Copy the split lines, or download them as a .txt file.
Use cases
- Splitting a delimited export into individual rows.
- Breaking a sentence into parts on a chosen marker.
- Separating tags stored in one field into a list.
Good to know
Split Text cuts the input at every occurrence of the delimiter you provide, trims each resulting piece, and removes empty pieces. It is aimed at quick one-off splits where you control the exact delimiter string.
Frequently asked questions
What can I use as the delimiter?
Any string you type becomes the split point, so you can split on a comma, a word or a longer marker.
Are empty pieces kept?
No. Pieces that are empty after trimming are removed so the output has no blank lines.
How is this different from the line separator tool?
Split Text takes a free-form delimiter string, while the separator tool offers preset separators to pick from.
