Splitting a string into a Stash list?

Question

For an EE3 site, I'd like to split a CSV or pipe delimited string (i.e. avi,david,sam or maybe avi|david|sam) and have each segment added to a Stash list.

I've looked at BBD Stringer ($6) on Devot-ee thinking I might be able to use it to break up the string and then stash each value in a list but it seems to be a bit more basic: that it just breaks the string apart but not as tags which could be passed into an {exp:stash:set_list} tag pair.

Any thoughts?

Haven't used BBD Stringer, but have used Low List to help with this. You can do something like:

{exp:stash:set_list
    name="XXX" 
    parse_tags="yes"
}
    {exp:low_list:each items="north|east|south|west" as="individual_direction"}
        {stash:direction}{individual_direction}{/stash:direction}
    {/exp:low_list:each}
{/exp:stash:set_list}

By the way, MANY thanks to Croxton & Low (attorneys?) for both add-ons.
