Turn One Stream-item Into Multiple Stream-items

Scenario

A list of identifiers arrives as single stream-item containing a comma separated list, and PhixFlow wants to create a single stream-item for each element of the list. For example, the list may have come from a web service, and the identifiers need to be in separate records for further processing

Create a stream with one element - a comma separated list of 10 values. Process that stream into another stream such that the result is 10 stream-items, each with a different one of the 10 values.

Solution:

• Create an output multiplier expression to parse the comma separated values into a list of 10 values
• Reference the values in that list with the _type internal variable.
