## Example

Suppose you want to convert a series of lists of comma-separated values into a single string representing those values separated by `/`:

1. In your Pipeline, open the required [Action](https://onum.gitbook.io/onum-docs/the-workspace/pipelines/actions) configuration and select the input **Field**.
2. In the **Operation** field, choose **List to string**.
3. Set **Separator** to `/`.
4. Give your **Output field** a name and click **Save**. The values in your input field will be transformed into a string with its values separated by the given character. For example:

<pre><code><strong>hello,my,world -> hello/my/world
</strong></code></pre>

{% hint style="info" %}
You can try out operations with specific values using the **Input** field above the operation. You can enter the value in the example above and check the result in the **Output** field.
{% endhint %}
