Split string characters using Text to Column

Dipset

I am trying to split a character in a column     New Brunswick NJ   into two different columns. I used Text to Column. However, i used the "space" as the delimiter and it separated the text into two columns as    New     Brunswick NJ   I would like the output to read    New Brunswick       NJ   in two separate columns.  Thanks in advance

Hi would you have some sample of the data, for other lines? With what I see you may use regex to extract this part

Here is a workflow attached with the regex solution (can go with up to 3 characters but they must be in uppercase)

 

I hope it answers your question!

Thank you for your help. I do want to apologize for not providing enough data to support my question. However, i spent some time learning the REGEX tool and i was able to come up with the simple expression that i finally used to solve the question.

 

Thanks again.
