Default Insert columns and split text

Background: I'm importing data from the web that needs some massaging. Below
is a small part of the data. I want to split this so each part between the |
is in a new cell. To add to this there is another clump of text in the next
cell over that will also need to be split. I want to automate this since I
will also need to remove some special characters in the other clump of text.

Question: I would like to create a UDF that would insert the correct number
of columns after the text, then split it into those new columns. Does
anybody know how to do this?
Thanks
Mike
