string.split action

This trigger action splits an Input string and Fields into arrays of strings by separating the string into substrings, using a specified delimiter that determines where to make each split. Each field string array values (Fields) are matched with the corresponding input string array (Input).

In the following example 'T' is used as the delimiter and in the output each array element in the Fields get paired with the corresponding array element in the Input. For example, you can split a timestamp into the date and time components using "T" as the delimiter as follows:

Fields: "dateTtime"
Input: "2017-05-01T12:34:56Z"
Delimiter: "T"
The output of this trigger action is {"date": "2017-05-01", "time": "12:34:56Z"}
