# Split Text

## Syntax

Two syntaxes are supported for this operation.

#### Option 1

```
the text is "{input}"

```

#### Option 2

In this syntax, the parts of the text that are split can be further referenced via `the parts`.

```

split the text into parts
```

#### Specifying a Delimiter *(Optional)*

Optionally, **the delimiter** can be specified to split the text. By default, a space is used as the delimiter.
