| Argument | Default | Description |

How to use
In many cases, it is used to initialize or set variable of type "Array".
Clicking on split in the "Expression" tab sets the function name and () in the formula field.
The first argument is the text to be divided, and the second argument is the delimiter enclosed in '.
When dynamic content or variables are used in expressions, special specifications are required.
(How to get dynamic content with expressions.)
For example, an expression "split('aaa,bbb,cccc',',')" would be split into three items separated by commas.
TSV division is also possible by specifying TAB.
However, if you key in TAB as it is, it becomes a space.
Therefore, you need to type TAB in a text editor and then copy and paste it.
If you want to split by newline code, you must provide a variable.
