This sounds like a wonderful "Programming 101" exercise - it also sounds like something you should do for yourself and at least post YOUR efforts to solve it, before you ask US to spoon-feed you.

You are aware of the SPLIT command? And of the various string comparison operators and other string commands? There are probably a zillion ways to do this. You should come up with something on your own first. I would be ashamed to ask someone else to give me the answer to this before I tried on my own, even (or especially) many years ago when first I started to program.

SPLIT is not of real use to you here because you need to split at any number. Try FIND + MATCH OFFSET and then string(offset).
And yes, ese_pinche_ABAP is right. This is a simple task that you can do in hundreds of ways, you just have to try.

Actually I could do it using SPLIT, even recursively, but your suggestion Yuri is probably better...

Something along the lines of:

if the string contains any of <numbers 0-9>
assign that number to var1
SPLIT at var1

..and I'll leave the rest as an exercise to the reader, as the textbooks say!

Thank for all the help. I've done it.
I used string offset and loop to do it. It even worked too great to make me wonder why the hell couldn't i come up with it earlier.
