Krish

Instead of Parsing
 
I have a field in my spreadsheet from a query, as follows.
01*24*50076*01*EA*05
01*22*ZMAPLE*01*EA*05
I am interested in extracting the middle characters like
50076
ZMAPLE
They are the Item numbers and they float between 5 and 8 charcaters.
How can I accomplish?
Also I have another field.
01*09*ZZQUA*01*CS*06
01*21*80225*01*CS*03
I would like to separate in addition to Item number 4th and 5th characters.

Thanks for helping me.

Use Text to Columns with the * as the separator.
