Please take a look to the component tExtractRegexFields. With this component and a good REGEX knowledge you can extract nearly everything.

tExtractDelimitedFields is best suitable if column contains specific delimiter.
I have used this component to split single column value to multiple columns and also there is no side effect to other columns.
