Every 5 characters insert a new column

BautistaC888
8 - Asteroid

Hello,

I need to parse data into a new column every 5 characters. For example:

 

Input:

0a4fs5re2s
7udsalsa35

 

Output:

0a4fs5re2s
7udsalsa35

 

I think Text to columns can do it, but i'm stuck on the delimiter.
Thank you.

You could use regex to parse this:

(.{5})(.{5})

Regex tool - parse mode:

(.{5})(.{5})

 

That will give you two columns of any 5 characters.
