Hi,

 

I do have a data set, "5555,00,1234,ABC,/", need to know how to split this into different columns without using text to columns tool.

 

Thanks,

Raj...

Hi @Raj008 

 

You can use Regex tool parse. But can I know why no text to columns tool?

 

You can use Regex tool prase like below.

 

(.+),(.+),(.+),(.+),(.+)
