Hi All,
I have the following table with one variable call 'FullEntry'.
FullEntry
khafiz (Kula Hafiz - Assistant Director, Vancouver, BC)
jthompson (Jill Thompson - Senior Education Officer, New York, NY)
tkewen (Tom John Kewen - Office Assistant, Los Angeles, CA)
I want to separate it out as follows. Can someone help please.
USER_ID Name Position City State
khafiz Kula Hafiz Assistant Director Vancouver BC
jthompson Jill Thompson Senior Education Officer New York NY
tkewen Tom John Kewen Office Assistant Los Angeles CA
separate by SCAN() using delimiter '()-,':
USER_ID = scan(FullEntry,1,'()-,');
Name = scan(FullEntry,2,'()-,');
Position = scan(FullEntry,3,'()-,');
City = scan(FullEntry,4,'()-,');
State = scan(FullEntry,5,'()-,');
