Answers to Questions (FAQ)
What is a text split? (Definition)
Splitting a text is a generic expression that can mean several actions:
— Split a sentence every N words or divide it in N parts
— Separate a sequence of letters/numbers every N characters or cut it in N portions
— Segment a message when detecting specific characters
— Ventilate a text by creating paragraphs and line breaks
— Reduce the size of a message by deleting certain sections
How to split a text every N characters?
A text is a string of size N characters, so it is possible to divide N to get a set of sub-texts/blocks.
To separate a text every X characters, count each letter or symbol and split. Sometimes the last group is incomplete and can not have X characters.
Example: The text splitter cuts ABCDEFGHIJ (N=10 characters) into blocks of X=3 characters as ABC,DEF,GHI,J
When the message is made up of words, it can be useful to adjust to avoid cutting them off in the middle.
How to split a text into K parts?
To separate a text into K portions, first count the total number of characters N, and divide 'N / K = X' to get X the number of characters per group.
Example: To separate in half K=2, a text with N=10 characters, cut it out every N/K=5 characters: ABCDE,FGHIJ
How to split every word in a text?
An interesting option is not to split words, because when the text contains words and phrases (if it is not encrypted, for example), the division into the types of non-alphanumeric characters (spaces, punctuation , etc.) is preferable.
Why slicing a text?
Text slicing is useful for:
— Processing large data in small chunks.
— Displaying content in a limited user interface.
— Reorganizing or analyzing text data.
How to split text into columns or blocks for a table?
Identify natural separators (tabs, commas, semicolons, etc.) and break the message according to these separators to identify the columns.
Rows are usually separated by line breaks.
