Default using LEN / LEFT / MID / FIND functions to create a list


[Excel 2003]

I have a vlookup which populates cell $A$1 with codes separated by "-". For
example:

"A3-C-D4-F5"

or

"A-C-D5"

or even

"C"

I would like these to be processed so that
on the rows below $A$1, the idividual items are separated out line by line,
such that

A3-C-D4-F5 would be listed as

A3
C
D4
F5

in the cells below. The codes have "-" in various positions (or none at all
in the case of a single item) and can have up to 7 codes in a string.

Sounds complicated..

Can anyone help me separate the individual items from a hyphenized list of
codes as described above?

Thanks, Roger
