Splitting a String into Text-to-Columns without a Delimiter

Hello Community,

 

First post here and pretty new to Alteryx. I'm curious to learn a good way to break a string of information into separate columns where there's no delimiter. The following string is an example of what I'm trying to split up.

 

100000630000202102010000202102280000ZALA000000000482650+000000000028090+

 

I've added colors to designate where the column needs to split. Orange will always be 36 digits, blue is always 4, and pink and green are always 15. The addition signs can either split into columns that I will ignore down the flow, or can be deleted to not include in any columns.

 

Thank you,

Jason

 Year and a half later and this was exactly what I needed as well... I just changed the numbers a bit.  Thanks @afv2688
