ttc or regex

hello everyone i am probably having a mental block but can someone recommend the best way to split a string into specific columns? the string is nonspecific-it changes from 9 characters to 15 

 

for example: 

this is my data 

column A

ABCDEFGHIJKL

ABCDEFGHI

 

this is the output i am wanting : 

column A      column B    column C

ABC                DEF           GHIJKL

ABC                DEF            GHI

Hi @utsarunner981 

 

I would suggest regex parse mode.

 

(\w{3})(\w{3})(.+)

 

Here is how you can do it.
