arraySplit - Splits string into array of tokens

arraySplit will split a string on some delimiter, and return the array of each split component of the string.

Syntax

Like many functions in DataPrime, arraySplit supports two notations, function and method notation. These interchangeable forms allow flexibility in how you structure expressions.

Function notation

arraySplit(string: string, delimiter: regexp | string): array<string>

Method notation

string: string.arraySplit(delimiter: regexp | string): array<string>

Arguments

Name	Type	Required	Description
string	string	true	The string to split into an array
delimiter	regexp	string	true

Example - Parse first & last name from full name

Consider the following document:

{
    "name": "Chris Cooney"
}

We may wish to break up this name, so that we can track family name and look for similarities across documents:

Function notation

create first_name from arraySplit(name, ' ')[0]
| create last_name from arraySplit(name, ' ')[1]

Method notation

create first_name from name.arraySplit(' ')[0]
| create last_name from name.arraySplit(' ')[1]

This results in the following document:

{
    "name": "Chris Cooney",
    "first_name": "Chris",
    "last_name": "Cooney"
}
