Default Text Splitting easier? (Tokeniser?)

I've a column of text, generally in the form

Surname, Forename


I want to split into two columns automatically with Forename and Surname
separately. I've been able to do it with MID and FIND, but it's quite clunky
and wondered if there was a quicker, easier or more elegant way just to
tokenise a string based on a defined separator (in this case the character ,
followed by a space)

tks in advance
