Split String

The Split String node is used to divide a string into a list of substrings based on a specified delimiter. This operation breaks down a single string into multiple parts wherever the delimiter occurs. The resulting list of substrings can be stored in a new variable.

Example

Let's say you have to extract user info present in a string seperated by comma. Suppose $.variables.info is set to Jane Doe,jane.doe@example.com,+1-415-555-1234.

  1. Set Variable Name to extracted_info.

  2. Set Input String to $.variables.info.

  3. Set Delimiter to ,.

It will store the splited substrings in a list in $.variable.extracted_info. If variable $.variables.info doesn't exist, it'll raise an error.

Returns

This node does not return any value, but stores the list of substrings formed in the new variable with name provided in <Variable Name> in the flow context.
