How to Split a String using Rust Language

The easiest way to split a string in Rust is by making use of the split() function from the str type.

Example:

fn main() {
 let data_str = "This is some data|I want to split|Based on Pipe";
 let delimiter = "|";

 let let_split_data: Vec<&str> = data_str.split(delimiter).collect();

 for element in let_split_data {
        println!("{}", element);
    }
    
}

Output:

This is some data
I want to split
Based on Pipe




There are some more built-in functions that you can use with certain types of delimiters.
