Split Text Field When Spaces Vary

[aj3221]

I have a field where the spacing in the middle could change.

Example 1: 332 31
Example 2: 332 9
Example 3: 041 12

I need to split this field into 2 parts. The space in the middle is what I was trying to split on but my example # 2 is returning a space then the 9. I need it to just return the 9. I also tried the left and the right formulas but in some cases it was grabbing just the 9 but then it would throw off the others (I would return the 1 in Example 1 and the 2 in Example 2).

I want my results to be:
Truck# Stop#
Example 1: 332 31
Example 2: 332 9
Example 3: 041 12

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Try using Instr() instead

@Field1
Right(Yourfield, Instr(yourField, " ")-1)
@Field2
Mid(Yourfield, Instr(yourField, " ")+1,2)

You could do the following:

Trim(Split({table.field}," ")[2])

Thank you both! I'm all set!

Actually, I think my suggestion would not quite work. In case of double spaces, try this for the second section:

Split(Replace({table.field}," "," ")," ")[2]

It doesn't display properly here, but there are two spaces within the first set of quotes, and one within the other two.

i was actually looking through other threads after i posted this and i came across one and tried it and it works. i have no idea why it works though. i've never used ubound before. i'm using it for the Stop # part of the field split.

Split({oeeh1.route}," ")[Ubound(Split({oeeh1.route}," "))]

Unbound will return the last element in the array created by the split function, so that would work also.
