split data processor 

The \TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\SplitProcessor , alias split, allows to split values separated with a delimiter from a single database field. The result is an array that can be iterated over. Whitespaces are automatically trimmed.

TypoScript

With the help of the SplitProcessor the following scenario is possible:

EXT:examples/Configuration/TypoScript/DataProcessors/Processors/SplitProcessor.typoscript
tt_content {
  examples_dataprocsplit =< lib.contentElement
  examples_dataprocsplit {
    templateName = DataProcSplit
    dataProcessing.10 = split
    dataProcessing.10 {
      as = urlParts
      delimiter = /
      fieldName = header_link
      removeEmptyEntries = 0
      filterIntegers = 0
      filterUnique = 0
    }
  }
}

The Fluid template

In the Fluid template then iterate over the split data:

EXT:examples/Resources/Private/Templates/ContentElements/DataProcSplit.html
<html data-namespace-typo3-fluid="true" xmlns:f="http://typo3.org/ns/TYPO3/CMS/Fluid/ViewHelpers">
  <h2>Data in variable urlParts</h2>
  <f:debug inline="true">{urlParts}</f:debug>

  <h2>Output</h2>
  <f:for each="{urlParts}" as="part" iteration="i">
    <span class="text-primary">{part}</span>
    <f:if condition="{i.isLast} == false">/</f:if>
  </f:for>

</html>
Copied!
Output

The array now contains the split strings:
