What is a Split Text Tool?

A Split Text Tool is a data formatting utility that takes a single string of text and breaks it into multiple lines based on a specified character, known as a "delimiter." For example, it can take a comma-separated list like `apple,banana,orange` and turn it into a vertical list with each fruit on its own line.

What Problem Does This Tool Solve?

Data often comes in a compact, single-line format that is not easy to read or process. For instance, you might have a list of tags or keywords separated by commas, but you need to paste them into a spreadsheet, with each tag in its own row. Manually breaking this line apart is tedious and impractical for long lists. This tool automates the process, allowing you to instantly reformat your data into a more usable, multi-line structure. It's the reverse of our Comma Separator tool.

How to Use Our Text Splitter?

1. Paste Your Text: Paste the string of text you want to split into the input box.
2. Specify the Delimiter: In the "Delimiter" field, enter the character you want to split the text by (e.g., a comma `,`, a pipe `|`, or a space).
3. See the Result: The tool will instantly split the text and display each segment on a new line in the output box.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is a delimiter?

A delimiter is a character or sequence of characters that marks the boundary between separate regions in a string of text. Commas, semicolons, and tabs are common delimiters.

2. Can I split by a multi-character delimiter?

Yes. You can enter any string into the delimiter field, such as `--` or `|AND|`, and the tool will use that entire string as the separator.

3. Is my data secure?

Yes. The splitting process is done entirely within your browser. Your data is never sent to our servers.
