    b1=TRIM(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",REPT(" ",20)),5))
    c1=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",REPT(" ",20)),18,15))
    d1=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",REPT(" ",20)),40,15))
    e1=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",REPT(" ",20)),65,15))
    f1=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",REPT(" ",20)),85,15))
    g1=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",REPT(" ",20)),5))
    should work for 1 2 or 3 digits separated by 5 -
