It will be interesting if someone can come up with a solution to this,
but I don't see one. If your separator is whitespace, then the split has
nothing to work with if some values are blank. You'd need to add some kind of
separator between your values, like a tab, or a comma, or something else unique
that you can split it on.
What kind of a file is this information in? If it's in something like
Excel, then, of course, you could just re-export it with another separator.
However, if it's in a simple text file, you may have to add them by hand. I
copied your data into a text file and it looks like you have an arbitrary
number of spaces between your data (though that could just be the formatting
from the email). I thought that if the spacing was consistent, then you could
count the number of spaces, but it doesn't look like that will work, either.
Am I missing something?
