Frequently Asked Questions

You can split text using any character or string as a delimiter. Common options include comma, tab, pipe (|), semicolon, space, newline, or any custom string you specify. The tool handles both single characters and multi-character delimiters.

When consecutive delimiters create empty segments (like "a,,b"), you can choose to either keep the empty entries or remove them from the output. This is useful for cleaning up messy data or preserving the original structure.

This basic split tool divides on every occurrence of the delimiter. For CSV files with quoted fields containing commas, use our dedicated CSV to JSON converter which properly handles quoted strings and escaped characters.

The tool processes text directly in your browser, so it can handle very large inputs - typically several megabytes without issues. For extremely large files, performance may vary based on your device capabilities.

Currently the tool splits by one delimiter at a time. For multiple delimiters, process your text in stages or use our regex replace tool to normalize different delimiters into a single character first.
