# String Split ?

This wildcard is replaced with a part or a section of a string. The wildcard is used in the following ways.

* {string.split.?}
* For the following input (?) --> {string.split.0:2.I Want to Split this string}
* The output is going to be --> I Want to

{% hint style="info" %}
The split character is the blank space

Individual strings can be selected from left to right (with positive numbers i.e 0,1,2,3,4) or right to left (negative numbers i.e -1,-2,-3,-4) (example -1,-2)

When the : sign is used, it is possible to select a custom string range for the left and right side (example 1:-1).

When a selection range is used (:), the number 0 can be used to set the left range to the first string (example 0)

-1 sets the right side selection to the end of the string (example 3)
{% endhint %}
