Parse positions in a long string inside text file?

Anon

Hello All!
I have a long string that I need to make sense out of. I have the
documentation about what info is between which characters, I just need to
somehow parse each 94 character string into it's own section and from there
be able to identify what info is in positions 8-11 or 12-24 etc...

Any thoughts?

TIA

Luis
