Ultimate Guide: Slicing Text Online

Data extraction shouldn't require writing complex scripts. Our Text Slicer brings Python-style list slicing logic to the web, allowing you to extract specific characters, words, or lines from your data instantly.

For Developers

Extract columns from fixed-width data files, parse logs by keeping only specific segments of each line, or reverse string order for testing.

For Data Analysts

Quickly grab the nth word from a sentence, sample every 10th line of a dataset, or clean up CSVs by removing the first few characters of every row.

Understanding Slice Logic

We use 1-based indexing for ease of use, but support negative indexing:

  • Start: 1 means the beginning.
  • End: -1 means the last item.
  • Step: 2 grabs every second item.
  • Step: -1 reverses the order.
