Script to split line of copy into 2 frames?

Question

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has come across a script that could split a line of copy within a text frame into two frames (at a point of the users choosing).
The example below is similar to what I'm using in a catalog as a folio/photo credit. At the end of the design process, I have to go through and split text objects that are in color out from text objects that are b/w (this is so the catalog can be translated into a second language. Color items are on a common layer, each language is in black only and on it's own layer in the document).
Seen anything like that kicking around the internet?

Hi vasu_479,
Based on your description, you want to split columns in source table into two destination tables.
After testing the scenario in my environment, we can use Multicast to achieve your requirement. Just as you said, the Multicast would return all columns. But we can use the method below to achieve the goal:
If the destination tables are existing tables, we can just map column A, B and D as Input Columns to the corresponding Destination Columns in the Mapping tab for destination A. Then map column A, C, D and E in destination B.
If the destination tables are created in the Destination component, we can modify the create table query to directly create A, B and D for destination table A, create A, C, D and E for destination table B. Then there columns would be automatically mapped
in the Mappings pane.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
