I don't normally like suggesting REGEX straight up, but it's the easiest way.

 

REGEX TOOL: Parse

(.{5})(.{5})(.{3})(.{9})(.{5})(.{6})(.{5})(.{5})(.{3})(.*)

 

This will create a field of the length specified for each group.

Hi KGT, the values come out as null. Is there a way to fix that

I didn't look at the field and as there was no data had to recreate something small. I looked at the created fields not the original field where it actually comes from 2 different fields and so that previous formula would have worked if F3 and F4 were concatenated.

 

  • First Parse: ON F3: 
    • (.{5})(.{5})(.{3})(.{9})(.{5})(.{6})(.*)
  • Second Parse: ON F4: 
    • (.{5})(.{5})(.{3})(.*)
