Parse Numbers with no space or delimiters

Hello, I need help on what approach to take in parsing numbers that have no space or delimiters into rows. Here is an example of what I need:

Original -> 1234567812345678

 

What I need-> 12345678

                        12345678

 

any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

What is the logic? Is it just every 8 digits?

every 16 digits

I am sorry but that doesn't make sense in relation to the example given above - in that case you have split a 16 digit number into two 8 digit rows. Can you clarify with concrete examples if the logic is different than previously stated?

I only need it to split where there are 16 digits.

Otherwise if it is how you explained it, you can use the Tokenize method in the RegEx tool and Split to Rows. The expression would be \d{16} - change the number based on the split you need (my guess is that in reality it is \d{8})

Then filter you data to where Length([field])=16 - but again I think there are some conflicting statements so clarity would be preferred
