Hello all,
I have I task with string that is split a string into two vars.
So every character before first "/" slash if is there, must be copied
to var1. Also, everything after "/" slash or if there is no "/"
everything in the cell must be placed into var2.
How can I do it?

input
"01/06/90"
"07"
"02/01"
"30/01"
"10"
end
