Hi,

Function SpecialParse(sText As String, Optional DELIM As String = ";") As String
    Dim a As Variant, ia As Integer
    Const SPACE = " "
'1 Coke 20 Stock 0
    a = Split(sText, SPACE)
    
    SpecialParse = a(LBound(a))
    
    If IsNumeric(a(LBound(a))) Then
        SpecialParse = SpecialParse & DELIM & SPACE
    Else
        SpecialParse = SpecialParse & SPACE
    End If
    
    For ia = LBound(a) + 1 To UBound(a) - 1
        Select Case IsNumeric(a(ia))
            Case True
                SpecialParse = SpecialParse & DELIM & SPACE & a(ia) & DELIM
            Case Else
                SpecialParse = SpecialParse & SPACE & a(ia)
        End Select
    Next
    
    If IsNumeric(a(UBound(a))) Then
        SpecialParse = SpecialParse & DELIM & SPACE & a(ia)
    Else
        SpecialParse = SpecialParse & SPACE & a(ia)
    End If
End Function

A moment of boredom had me create a (slightly clunky) regular expressions solution:

[blue]Public Function SpecialParse(sText As String, Optional DELIM As String = ";") As String
    With CreateObject("vbscript.regexp") 
        .Pattern = "(\d+(?:\.\d+)?)\s+|(\w+)\s+(?=[\d\s])"
        .Global = True
        SpecialParse = .Replace(sText, "$1$2" & DELIM & " ")
    End With
End Function[/blue]
