Subject: Using Delimiters is a single field's records to redistribute records into new fields

Hi There,

I have 'chains' of values with delimiter characters "__za_" (the chains) to split each record within a single field into multiple fields.

Please advise how to do this.

Many thanks,

Iain

This can be achieved using the split command, then outputting the resulting list as individual fields.

Eg

fields = split (input, delimiter)
emit fields[0] as field1
emit fields[1] as field2
etc
