Default Help with replacing items within a cell

I know nothing about using formulas in excel. I'm using "find replace" from
the edit menu to clean up some data. How do I enter multiple item in the
find field? What's the syntax?

More info: I have a data field where there are five digits prefixed by four
digits and suffixed by a name i.e. 01 02 09876 Hammock. I need to isolate
the 5 middle digits in one column, the prefix in a second column and the
suffix in a third column.

So far I have copied the data to three seperate columns and I'm using find
replace to isolate the data in each column but it is tedious. Please help!!
Thanks.
