Hello All,
I'm looking to seperate out a list of alpha-numeric codes into seperate
columns. sound too easy? Here's the catch:
Examples:

A01 (single aplha, 2-digit num) *= A * - * 01
A01a (single aplha, 2-digit num, sub-alpha) * *= A * - * 01 * - * a
AA01 (2-alpha, 2-digit num) *= * AA * *- *01 *
AA01a (2-aplha, 2-digit num, sub-alpha) *= AA * - * 01 * - * a

If anyone knows how to get this to split up correctly, unfortunately I have
to do it for pretty much the entire alphabet and up to about 38-65
numerically. :-)

Please advise or lead me in the rigth direction.

this is how I did it. I am sure there has to be something much easier
then this, but it shoudl do the trick to the above guidleines.

Thanks,
Jay
