The split text node is a powerful tool that allows you to take a string of text and split it into a list of substrings based on a specified delimiter. This can be useful in a variety of scenarios, such as parsing comma-separated values or splitting text by newlines.
To use the split text node, you simply need to provide the input text and the delimiter you want to use. The node will then output a list of the resulting substrings. This can be particularly useful when working with data that is structured in a specific format, as it allows you to easily extract the individual components.
In the example provided, the split text node is used to split a comma-separated list of project numbers, which can then be used to query data from Salesforce using a batch mode pipeline. This demonstrates how the split text node can be integrated into a larger data processing workflow to automate and streamline complex tasks.

Delimiter Options for Splitting Text
The split text node in Vector Shift allows you to split a string of text into a list of substrings based on a specified delimiter. The delimiter can be a character, a space, or a new line.
To split a string by a character delimiter, simply enter the character in the delimiter field. For example, if you have a comma-separated list of values, you can split the string by the comma character.
To split a string by a space delimiter, leave the delimiter field empty. The split text node will then split the string wherever there is a space character.
To split a string by a new line delimiter, enter the \n
character in the delimiter field. This will split the string wherever there is a new line.
The split text node is a powerful tool that can be used in various scenarios, such as generating case studies based on a list of project numbers. By splitting the input string, you can then pass each substring as input to another pipeline, allowing you to process the data in a more efficient and scalable way.

Real-World Example: Generating Case Studies
In this real-life scenario, the split text node is used to generate case studies based on specific project numbers. The input node contains a list of projects separated by commas. The split text node then splits the project numbers by the comma delimiter, creating a list of individual project numbers.
This list of project numbers is then passed into another pipeline, where the batch mode functionality is utilized. Batch mode takes the list of project numbers and runs the pipeline for each member of the list, using the individual project number as input. This allows the pipeline to query data from Salesforce for each project and generate the corresponding case study.
By leveraging the split text node and batch mode, this pipeline streamlines the process of generating case studies for multiple projects, making it an efficient and practical real-world application of the split text functionality.

The split text node is a powerful tool that allows you to take a string of text and split it into a list of substrings based on a specified delimiter. This functionality can be particularly useful when working with lists of data, as it enables you to process each item in the list individually.
One real-life scenario where this can be leveraged is in the generation of case studies. By taking a list of project numbers separated by commas, you can use the split text node to break down the list into individual project numbers. These can then be passed into another pipeline, where you can use the batch mode functionality to run the pipeline for each project number, querying data from Salesforce and generating the case studies.
This approach allows for efficient and scalable processing of list-based data, making it a valuable tool in a variety of data processing workflows.

Conclusion
The split text node is a powerful tool that allows you to take a string of text and split it into a list of substrings based on a specified delimiter. This functionality can be particularly useful in real-life scenarios, such as the case study generation pipeline demonstrated in the example.
By using the split text node, you can easily break down a list of project numbers or other data into individual elements, which can then be processed through a batch mode pipeline. This streamlines the workflow and allows you to efficiently handle and process large amounts of data.
The flexibility of the split text node, with its ability to split by character, space, or newline, makes it a versatile tool that can be applied to a wide range of data processing tasks. Its simplicity and effectiveness make it a valuable addition to any data transformation toolkit.
