Text in columns

Hi to all.

I need to generate a routine that separates into columns texts that contain words separated by a comma "," as shown in the image.

Is this possible? Thanks in advance

The answer is yes, although it may be more challenging in Mathcad than some other programs.  If you have to do this only a few times (and can allow a "manual" method) I'd suggest (in Prime) an EXCEL component:

  • Input variable for DATA,
  • Open EXCEL, text to column with coma delimiter
  • Output variable from EXCEL

This begs the question:  Why are you using Mathcad to manipulate text?

What's wrong with using READCSV ?     (Read Comma Separated Values)

Otherwise READTEXT could be your friend.

Normally to manipulate text I use excel, but I had doubts if there was a way to do it directly in mathcad, exactly as LucMeekes proposes, with READCSV, I did not know that command.
Thank you very much for the help.
