FAQ
Can I split pipe or tab-separated strings too?
Yes. The same tool supports pipe, tab, space, newline, and custom separators.
Will it trim spaces after commas?
Yes. Keep trim enabled and the split result will normalize extra spaces around each value.
Can I turn the lines back into a joined string later?
Yes. The same page supports both join and split modes, so you can reverse the workflow without leaving the tool.
