Hi @Priyanka_Jadhav1,

Can you please share more details around your requirement?

How do you want to split?

What condition do you want your string to split on?

You want to split by space or by some character?

Usual syntax of split by space is as below, but this can be customized per requirement.  
String.split(chr(32))

Regards  
Sonali
