  • Separate out contends of string variable


    Hi I would like to separate the contents of the string variable 'gazetteer_adm_name' to different variables based on the hyphen separation. For eg) for "Earth|Africa|Kenya|Nandi|Kapsabet" I want Variable 1 to have Earth, Variable 2 to have Africa, Variable 3 to have Kenya, Variable 4 to have Nnadi and Variable 5 to have Kapsabet.If only four hyphenated places are given then the fifth variable should be left empty.

    Code:
     dataex ID_0 ID_1 ID_2 geoname_id precision_code place_name gazetteer_adm_code gazetteer_adm_name location_type_name
    
    ----------------------- copy starting from the next line -----------------------
