Gaylen,
Version ?
*VFP7 and up
tcStr = "2222 3333 4444 5555"
alines(arrVals, tcStr, " ")

*VFP6 and up
tcStr = "2222 3333 4444 5555"
alines(arrVals, chrtran(tcStr, " ",chr(13)))

*Older - for short lists this was fastest as I could see
tcStr = "2222 3333 4444 5555"
tcStr = chrtran(tcStr, " ",",")
oDummy = createobject('Listbox')
with oDummy
  .RowSourceType = 1 && Value
  .RowSource = tcStr
  dimension arrVals[.ListCount]
  for ix=1 to .ListCount
    arrVals[ix] = .List(ix)
  endfor
endwith
release oDummy
