Question & Answer
Question
I have a string variable named EmployeeID in an SPSS Statistics data file. This variable has several blocks of information that are separated by hyphens. I wish to extract each of these blocks of information between the hyphens and store them in new string variables. The length of a given block may vary across cases but there will always be 5 blocks that are separated by 4 hyphens. The new variable names and the string length required for each are as follows: Division 4 Region 4 Location 4 Team 8 Employee A Can you provide a set of commands that would extract the blocks of information to new string variables?.
