Split Text to Text Collection
Overview
This action takes a single text string and splits it into a collection of separate text elements using a delimiter you specify. This helps break down strings like comma-separated values or lists into individual items.
How it Helps
Imagine you have a text string like "apple,banana,cherry" and must work with each fruit individually. This action lets you split the string at the commas, creating a collection containing "apple", "banana", and "cherry" as separate elements.
When to Use It
This action is ideal for:
Breaking down lists or comma-separated values.
Extracting individual elements from a combined text string.
Processing data that is structured within a single text field.
Preparing data for use in components that require text collections.
Example
To split a comma-separated list of colors:
Define the Text Value: Have a Text variable containing the string "red,green,blue".
Configure the Action: Specify the Text variable as the "Text Value" and use a comma (",") as the "Delimiter."
Store the Text Collection: Store the output in a Text Collection variable. You can then use this collection to, for example, display the colors in a picklist.
Key Considerations
Text Value: Ensure you have a valid text string.
Delimiter: Choose the character or string that separates the elements within your text (e.g., comma, space, semicolon)
