I want to be able to give zapier a large amount of text and have it break it down into 4000 word chunks, there doesn’t seem to be a way to split by word count
Question
How to separate text based on word count or character count

Hi
Good question.
Splitting by # of words VS splitting by # of characters are different executions.
Try using Formatter > Text > Truncate if you want to split based on characters.
Otherwise a Code step can be used.
Either would work for me but I don’t want to just truncate. I need all the individual sections. What would the code be for the code step?

You’ll get very different results if splitting based on words vs splitting based on characters.
Splitting based on characters could split in the middle of a word.
Try asking ChatGPT for the code to use: https://chat.openai.com

Do you mean you want 4000 different chunks regardless of how many words there are? So, for example, 8000 words would generate 4000 two-word chunks and so on?
