Default First 3 characters

Dear Expert,
I have used the OCR and convert the PDF file to EXCEL.

They display in 2 types which I cannot use "Text to Column" to split all
into individual columns.
What functions can I use so that I can capture the 2nd characters in the
cell please?
What functions can I use so that I can capture the 3nd characters and the
rest after the third characters please ?
First one is easy ... just Left(A1,1)

Then how about ? "P", "O","21Jan2008","10:56" ...
