Parse String

Pause

WiseScript Editor Reference
This action splits a text string and places the results in two variables.
You can split the string at a character or substring that you specify, which discards the
character or substring you specified. Example: If you split the string "ONE,TWO" at the
first occurrence of a comma, "ONE" is put into destination variable 1 and "TWO" is put
into the destination variable 2. If the character or substring is not found, the entire
string is put into destination variable 1, and nothing is put into destination variable 2.
The find is case-sensitive.
You can also split a string at any arbitrary character position, which discards no
characters. Example: If you split the string "ONE,TWO" at character position four from
left, then "ONE," is put into the destination variable 1 and "TWO" is put into the
destination variable 2.
