Question : How to extract individual elements out of a long string.

Hello Experts.

I have a long string, separated by 2 commas.

,21, ,22, ,23, ,24, ,25, ,26, ,27, ,28, ,29, ,30, ,31, ,32, ,33, ,34, ,35, ,36, ,37, ,38, ,39,

How can I extract the individual elements so that I can use them to delete or modify rows? Each number corresponds with a record (row) in the excel sheet.

Thanks.
