What if string has like "Hello-World-123" ?? Or every time "Hello-123" only?

Use, Simple as much

MyTable:
LOAD
SubField("String",'-',1) AS "Title Chars",
SubField("String",'-',2) AS "Title Num";

Hello

and you can use the LEFT and RIGHT functions too:

//Hello-123

MyTable:
LOAD

TEXT(left(string,index(string,'-')-1) AS "Title Chars",  // Hello
NUM (right(string,index(string,'-')+1) AS "Title Num", //123

For Hello-World-123, you can do:

 

MyTable:
LOAD
SubField("String",'-',1) AS "Title Chars",

SubField("String",'-',2) AS "Title Chars2",

SubField("String",'-',3) AS "Title Num";
