Default Help with formula

Hi All,
I wish to create a formula to be able to split a text string in a given
place and copy one part to another cell and the other part to a different
cell.
Please let me explain.... I have a worksheet ranging from cell A1 to A6000
containing a list of all my MP3 files stored on my PC. The format of all the
file names is for example Artist Name - Song Title eg: Madonna - Hung Up.
I wist to take all characters before the space hyphen space and copy this to
column B and all charachters after the space hyphen space and copy these to
column C.
This is what I should end up with:
A1 B1 C1
Madonna - Hung Up Madonna Hung Up

The text strings in cell A1 : A6000 are all varying lenghts and this is
where I a struggeling to get a formula to work.
I am using Excel version 2002 SP3

Many thanks
Dave
