Extracting quantities from a string into another field

Hi there,

 

I have a database which contains information about road segment lengths and locations along the road. The raw data is inconsistent and looks something like this:

 

Road SegmentSegment Start (km)Segment End (km)
Main St Segment 9 35.03-49.678km  
Supermarket (22.09km)  
Main St Segment 1049.67958.42
School57.6357.63
Pedestrian Bridge - Up 29.032 Down 29.040  

 

I want Alteryx to look through the Road Segment column and extract the start and end lengths for road segments, and the data regarding how far along the road a location is. Using the above example, the output from this workflow would look something like this:

 

Road SegmentSegment Start (km)Segment End (km)
Main St Segment 9 35.03-49.678km35.0349.678
Supermarket (22.09km)22.0922.09
Main St Segment 1049.67958.42
School57.6357.63
Pedestrian Bridge - Up 29.032 Down 29.04029.03229.040

 

How can I do this in Alteryx?

 

Thanks in advance!
