Use the Split
action to split the specified string into multiple strings and store the
output in a list variable.
Procedure
To split a string into multiple strings, perform these steps:
-
In the
Actions
palette, double-click or drag the
Split
action from the String
package.
-
In the Source string field, specify the source
string.
-
In the Delimiter field, specify the character to split
the string.
For example, comma (,), semicolon (;), pipe (|), slash (/ \), newline
character (\n), or space.
In the delimiter text
box, the newline character is not accepted for the Enter key as a line
break. In that case, you can either press F2 and
select Enter - String from String section or input
the $String:Enter$ variable.
-
In the Delimiter is field, select one of the
options:
-
Case sensitive: The delimiter is
case-sensitive.
-
Not case sensitive: The delimiter is not
case-sensitive.
-
In the Split into substrings field, select one of the
options:
-
All possible: Splits the source string into as
many substrings as possible.
For example, if the original string is
a,b,c,d, each character becomes a substring.
-
Only: Limits the number of substrings.
For
example, if the original string is a,b,c,d, and you enter 3, the
output is three strings: a, b, and c,d.
-
In the Assign the output to list variable field, specify
the list variable.
-
Click Save.
