Using explode, it's possible to convert a string into a list based on one or more characters. 

explode

{{","|explode:$text}} 

Examples

In the example below, we have the text "1|dollar" and we want to split it into individual parts based on the pipe character:

explode

{{$someVar ="|"|explode:"1|dollar"}}
<pre>{{$someVar|print_r}}</pre>

Output:
Array
(
    [0] => 1
    [1] => dollar
)
