Default Data Extraction

One way ..
Assuming source data running in A1 down,
Put in B1:
=MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($A1,"-",""),"/",""),LEN(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($A1,"-",""),"/",""))-(3-COLUMNS($A:A)),1)
Copy B1 across to D1, fill down as far as required

The figures below relate to horseracing form which are contained within
one
column. I wish to ignore the symbols '-' and '/'.

15P-P7
253-31
2F-6PP
271-21
218-23
41F7-7
9F6-23
583F-0
/2P4-1
/2-6P3
33-41P
3PP1/3
42-333

How can I extract the last three items so that they are presented in three
different columns, as set out below? P P 7
3 3 1
6 P P
etc.

TIA
