My _%title%_ is of following nature:

`Allah Hu, Ali Zafar & Saaein Tufail, Coke Studio Pakistan, Season 1`

I want to split into multiple parts based on seperator `,` and access each part of it seperately.

How can i achieve the same?

Into how many parts should this string be spearated?  
If you really use the comma, then you get 4 parts.  
But I would consider

> [@usaraf](#):
>
> Allah Hu, Ali Zafar & Saaein Tufail

as 1 part as it suspiciously looks like a list of performers.  
So what would you do afterwards?  
Also: with the "Split by separator" action you get a multi-value field where the individual parts can be addressed - but very comfortable.  
Wouldn't it be a better way to use "Guess value" and distribute the parts into user-defined or standard fields?
