In my post there are 3 records, some records could have same station name

Just forget about the records I gave you and suppose a really simple case:
Let the record be:
'ss45gg67tt'
I want to have, after I textscanned it, the cell C so that:
C(1)='ss' ;C(2)=[45]; C(3)='gg';C(4)=[67] and C(5)='tt'
45 and 67 should be read as floating number.
The fortran equivalent would be (a2,f2,a2,f2,a2)
Now suppose one field is missing and another is slightly different
Let the record be:
'ss gg67 t'
Then I want:
C(1)='ss' ;C(2)=[]; C(3)='gg';C(4)=[67] and C(5)='t'![]()
