Split text based on character, but keep 'splitting character'

[maje90 (Riccardo Majewski)]

What about this:

• replace your splitting character with another uncommon symbol + your character
• split your text by using the uncommon symbol

For example:

“The quick@ brown fox jum@ps over the lazy dog”
Replace “@” with “%@”
now you have
“The quick%@ brown fox jum%@ps over the lazy dog”
now split by using “%”

The quick
@ brown fox jum
@ps over the lazy dog

(The null checking and stream filter is for when you have a single text string input at start…)

Yes, that is a much simpler solution.

Hi Kevin,

I got one more challenge to go.

Would it be possible to modify the script in such a way, that the ‘original Path’ is also present in the end result?

e.g. example below:

Many thanks

I prefer using C# over Python for manipulating DataTrees.

Here’s how I would do this (slight modification to the C# component I posted before):
