Text Splitter
Break a delimited string into a clean list — one item per line — using any separator you choose.
What is Text Splitter?
The Text Splitter takes a single string containing separated values — 'apple, banana, orange' — and breaks it at every occurrence of your chosen delimiter, putting each piece on its own line. The delimiter defaults to a comma but accepts any character or sequence: semicolons, pipes, tabs pasted in, even whole words.
It is the counterpart to our Text Joiner, which does the reverse. The pair covers the everyday chore of converting between 'everything on one line' and 'one item per line' formats.
The split updates live as you type or change the delimiter, and runs entirely in your browser.
Why split text into chunks?
Comma-separated data shows up everywhere — email recipient lists, CSV rows, tag exports, keyword dumps from SEO tools. As one giant line it's unreadable and hard to work with; split into lines, you can scan it, count it, sort it, and dedupe it.
It's a natural first step in a cleanup pipeline: split a keyword export on commas, run the result through the Duplicate Line Remover, sort it A→Z with the Text Sorter, and you've turned a messy dump into a clean list in under a minute — no spreadsheet involved.
Developers use it for quick data inspection too: splitting a long URL query string on '&', or a PATH variable on ':', instantly shows what's inside without squinting at one endless line.
How to Use Text Splitter
1. Paste your delimited text into the input box.
2. Set the delimiter in the 'Split By Delimiter' field — comma is the default.
3. The result appears immediately with each item on its own line.
4. Copy the list, or feed it into another tool like the Sorter or Duplicate Remover.
Example
Input:
apple, banana, orange
Delimiter: ','
Output:
apple banana orange
