A string can be split into several columns by using a delimiter to separate the different values in the string. The delimiter can be any character or sequence of characters that separates the values.
For example, if we have a string "John,Doe,30,Male" and we want to split it into columns of first name, last name, age, and gender, we can use the comma as the delimiter. We can use the split() method in Python to split the string into a list of values based on the delimiter:
text = "John,Doe,30,Male"
values = text.split(",")
The resulting values list would be ["John", "Doe", "30", "Male"]. We can then assign these values to separate variables or to separate columns in a database table.
