The regular expression module (re) should be pretty handy at this.
This may not be a typical case, but:

>>> re.match( r"([0-9]+) ([0-9]*.?[0-9]+) (.{1,5})", '1 2.02 abcde' ).groups( )
('1', '2.02', 'abcde')

The float catcher doesn't catch "2."  If you need that to work or
other classes, speak up.
