I need to break up 1 large string into 3 smaller strings 1

[beetlebailey]

I have $(0) which = 987723605XXXA9347286
$(1) should always be 4 characters: 9877
$(2) should always be the next 8 characters: 23605XXX
$(3) should always be the last 8 characters: A9347286

Is anyone familiar on how to break this up and assign a string variable for each new string ?

Thanks for any and all comments.

str1 = Left$(str0,4)
str2 = Mid$(str0,5,8)
str3 = Right$(str0,4)
