Im new to Stata and wanted to see if doing this is possible?

[Graham Elmhurst]

I have attached 2 images showing that my data is separated into two different subgroups but in the same column
Is there a way to somehow create a new variable one for females life expectancy and one for males?
Thanks

Use

rename lifeexpectancy lifeexpectancy 
split lifeexpectancy, parse(/) destring

Please see https://www.statalist.org/forums/help#stata on how to give data examples (not as images).
