Breaking output for specific pattern
Respected Sirs,

I have a text file which is unfortunately unformatted. I have something like

191728/02/06226278
191828/02/06226279
191928/02/06226280
192028/02/06226281
192128/02/06226282

Can some one suggest me the way so that I can store
1917
28/02/06
226278

in different variables.

I am using SCO Open Serve 5.

Thanks in advance for help / suggestion.

Best Regards
