Default Isolating text and numbers

Hi,

I have a text file and in this text file, the data is like: -
X3.8687 Y1.6025
X1.6025 Y3.8687
X0 Y4.1875
X-1.6025Y3.8687
X-3.8687Y1.6025
X-4.1875Y0
X-3.8687Y-1.6025
X-1.6025Y-3.8687
X0 Y-4.1875
X1.6025 Y-3.8687
X3.8687 Y-1.6025

I have created two columns in the spreadsheet : X and Y. What I want
to do is to come up with a function that will read the X and Y values
from this input data. I will copy and paste this current data in one
column and in the other 2 columns, I must see X and Y values (in
numbers). I have tried using MID functions, but I am having problems
reading Y values. Any ideas?

Thanks
