Pro Tips

  • Empty parts (from consecutive delimiters or trailing delimiters) are automatically filtered out
  • Each resulting part has surrounding whitespace trimmed automatically
  • Use \n as the delimiter to split text that's already organized one item per line
  • Copy All joins every part onto its own line, ready to paste into a spreadsheet column

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to extra whitespace around each part?

It's automatically trimmed, so ' apple ' becomes 'apple' in the result.

What if my delimiter appears twice in a row?

Any resulting empty parts are automatically filtered out of the result.

Can I split on a newline?

Yes, enter \n as the delimiter to split text that already has one item per line.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. Splitting happens entirely in your browser.

Can I split on more than one character?

Yes, the delimiter can be any string, not just a single character - for example, ' - ' (space, dash, space).
