Thanks to everyone who responded. The above way is the most convenient in my
case. I remember that I did try this at one point, but I was telling the
wrong application so all I got was errors.

Oh, and even though Michelle's text items delimiters solution is not the
most practical in my situation, thanks to it I think I now understand for
the first time what text items delimiters are, which is surely useful in the
long run.
