Default Help putting left, right, find and len together

I need to pull the following string apart in several different ways and I
can't get the combination of the functions right for it to work.

example of string:
AB 5X75X200 YD G5487L

First - I want to look at the string and pull out the dimensions 5, 75, and
200 and put them in separate cells. character counts will not always be the
same

Second - YD may not always be YD it could also be LY

Third - I need to start at the right find the space and pull everything out
to the right of the space.
