Default separate "A1200:AB13000" into A, 1200, AB, 1300

Hi

Data Text To Columns with semicolon as separator (and be sure there is a
free column as next to one with original data).

Hi,
I have to separate a range into alphabetical and numerical part before
and after ":". The problem is i can not use left("text",2) as the
length of string (range) varies....

Eg.

string "A1200:AB13000" --like to get--

lefttext = A, leftnumber = 1200, righttext=AB, rightnumber=13000


the length of string is not fix ....and this is a big problem for
me....might not for you :)

Please help me...or let me know where can i find the info....

Thanks a lot....
