Text separator

Text separator replaces a selected separator with another separator in your text. Use it to turn a simple space-delimited sequence into separate lines or to adapt a list to a form that expects a different delimiter.

How to use Text separator

1. Paste the text and choose the separator it currently uses.
2. Choose the replacement separator from the available options.
3. Submit the form and inspect the boundaries between the resulting items.

Example and interpretation

For example, changing the separator from a space to a new line turns red green blue into three lines. Punctuation inside an item is unchanged unless it matches the separator you selected.

Keep the original text alongside the result while you review the change. Check the beginning, the end, and any unusual characters before replacing your working copy. Formatting transformations can affect a downstream import even when the words look familiar.

Limits to consider

This is direct separator replacement, not a CSV parser with quoting rules. A delimiter inside a quoted name is still a matching character. Check repeated spaces, empty items, and meaningful punctuation before importing the output elsewhere.

Questions about Text separator

Can it convert a line list to a pipe-separated string?

Yes. Choose new line as the existing separator and the pipe character as the replacement.

Will it remove duplicate items?

No. Separator replacement changes boundaries, not whether items are unique.
