I used the concatenate function to combine columns to make a product be  
B18-DST-34-30.  Now I want to break that number back apart.  All of the
segments are not the same length.  Can you reseparate them by using the "-"
as a designator?

If your data is in a single column, you could use:

Select the range
Data|Text to columns
Delimited (by hyphen)

(xl2003 menus)
