Answer 1

I have parsed data with hyphens in it. The example below uses a fixed text string to demonstrate, just change the references to relevant column names in the table. I played for ages with a way to ensure it worked on codes with varying numbers of components and in the end decided to add the where clause. Most data you are trying to parse would have a fixed number of columns.

select
SUBSTRING_INDEX(TS,"-",1) as "1",
reverse(left(reverse(SUBSTRING_INDEX(TS,"-",2)),locate("-",reverse(SUBSTRING_INDEX(TS,"-",2)))-1)) as "2",
reverse(left(reverse(SUBSTRING_INDEX(TS,"-",3)),locate("-",reverse(SUBSTRING_INDEX(TS,"-",3)))-1)) as "3",
reverse(left(reverse(SUBSTRING_INDEX(TS,"-",4)),locate("-",reverse(SUBSTRING_INDEX(TS,"-",4)))-1)) as "4",
reverse(left(reverse(SUBSTRING_INDEX(TS,"-",5)),locate("-",reverse(SUBSTRING_INDEX(TS,"-",5)))-1)) as "5",
reverse(left(reverse(SUBSTRING_INDEX(TS,"-",6)),locate("-",reverse(SUBSTRING_INDEX(TS,"-",6)))-1)) as "6",reverse(left(reverse(SUBSTRING_INDEX(TS,"-",7)),locate("-",reverse(SUBSTRING_INDEX(TS,"-",7)))-1)) as "7",
reverse(left(reverse(SUBSTRING_INDEX(TS,"-",8)),locate("-",reverse(SUBSTRING_INDEX(TS,"-",8)))-1)) as "8",
reverse(left(reverse(SUBSTRING_INDEX(TS,"-",9)),locate("-",reverse(SUBSTRING_INDEX(TS,"-",9)))-1)) as "9",
reverse(left(reverse(SUBSTRING_INDEX(TS,"-",10)),locate("-",reverse(SUBSTRING_INDEX(TS,"-",10)))-1)) as "10"
from (select "aaa-bbb-ccc-ffffd-eee-fff-ggg-hhh-iii-jjj" as TS) as S
where (LENGTH(TS)-LENGTH(REPLACE(TS,'-',''))) =9
