This would be tough without a seperator. You could hardcode it and use left() right() expressions but that's no good.

Ideally you can edit the server-side script that sends you the data. Either so it simply includes a space between or so that it is seperated like "John|my text goes here|there text goes here" and you use tokenat() expressions to pick the individual text snippets.
