| Syntax      | SplitString (String str, String separator1, String separator2, String separator3)                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| Purpose     | To split a string into multiple parts along the specified separator strings.                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| Description | Returns a structure containing individual string parts. This function returns up to 10 parts.                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| Return Type | String (Parts)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| Parameters  | <p>str \[System.String] – String to split</p><p>separator1 \[System.String] – Separator string 1 for parsing the string</p><p>separator2 \[System.String] – Separator string 2 for parsing the string</p><p>separator3 \[System.String] – Separator string 3 for parsing the string</p> |

**Example**

In this example, we are passing the required parameters to the function transformation object using a *Variables* object.

Where,

*str*: ABC-DEF/GHI.JKL

*separator1 =* -

*separator2 =* /

*separator3 =* .

Right-click on the function transformation object and select *Preview Output.* You can see that Astera Data Stack has returned the different parts of the split string, on the basis of the specified delimiter (*separator*) values.
