Can someone with reg expr fu please please help me?
I’m not getting anywhere-
Just need to split the vales in this txt file in to slices. seems like it should be easy but it has me stumped- I really don’t know reg expr very well- generally try to use csv or xml for bringing data in to vvvv, but it’s not possible in this case.
Example below, not sure if the formatting will be clear on the forum so *.txt file is also attached.
Much lovin in advance!

The post seems to have cleaned it to single spaces, in the file the gaps are made up of different amounts of spaces between different values.
i would say Separate (String) does the trick…?
that’s what i was trying and failing with before moving on to regexpr. Maybe I’m missing a setting- will separate work if the number of spaces are different? As in: 3 spaces, 5 space, n spaces etc?
