Split string elements of input into bytes.

Aliases:

• tf.compat.v2.strings.bytes_split

tf.strings.bytes_split(
    input,
    name=None
)

Examples:

tf.strings.bytes_split('hello')
['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o']
tf.strings.bytes_split(['hello', '123'])
<RaggedTensor [['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o'], ['1', '2', '3']]>

Note that this op splits strings into bytes, not unicode characters. To split strings into unicode characters, use tf.strings.unicode_split.

See also: tf.io.decode_raw, tf.strings.split, tf.strings.unicode_split.

Args:

• input: A string Tensor or RaggedTensor: the strings to split. Must have a statically known rank (N).
• name: A name for the operation (optional).

Returns:

A RaggedTensor of rank N+1: the bytes that make up the source strings.
