How to delimiter the "space" in the column?

Hi folks,

 

I have one column with the following data format and I would like to split it into the multiple columns using jsl, 

 

ABC D01 EF GGG

 

How to modify the following jsl to split the single column into four character columns. 

dt << Text To Columns( delimiter( "  " ), columns( :Column 1 ) );

 

I tried to use the TAB as the delimiter, but it also did not work.

dt << Text To Columns( delimiter( TAB ), columns( :Column 1 ) );

 

Thank you for the advice.

Re: How to delimiter the "space" in the column?

The function needs to be applied to each row;

names default to here( 1 );
dt=current data table();
for each row(
	dt << Text To Columns( delimiter( "  " ), columns( :Column 1 ) );
);
