It might be a bit late, but thera are two solutions now to achieve this.

1. A paid plugin, VectorFirstAid by AstuteGraphics, which can break text at the cursor, extracting a selection, etc.

2. A free script, https://onthehead.com/ais/text012/. It has some limitations, but does the job.

Egor,

 

you may want to fix the link you provided. There is a character at the end of it that breaks it.

 

Apart from that you may have a look at a similar task we discussed recently in this forum. Mark (m1b) provided a pretty versatile approach there.

This problem has been bothering me for a long time. Enthusiastic forum script gods, can anyone help me write this?

Follow my other advice in the other thread- style each space with different color (find a style applying via regex script on this forum) and then play a pre-recorded "Flatten Transparency" command which has no Outline Text checked on.

I don't quite understand what you mean, are you a script or something?

Usually I will delete them separately to complete this

Or use EXECL data to sort

I am more cumbersome than I think the script should be able to divide the text with spaces. So come to the community for advice.

It's these scripts completely split all the text into a single character which is not what I want
