Extract text from a string?

2 New Member
here is the string:

DALJimmy,Darko,BeansDAB1466 N Scooby AveDAI1988,11,24DAQ

I want to extract "jimmy,darko,beans", "1466 N Scooby Ave", & "1988,11,24". How can I go about doing this? Now I have some kind of idea how I want the script to be, I want to extract the text between DAL and DAB, DAB and DAI, etc. Can someone point me in the direction of finding a script for this?
