I'd start at the 25th character and work back until I found the first space.
Then you split the text up at that position.  Much simpler than scanning
forward.

This is the way I do it as well, except that I always start in the 26thspot instead of the 25th. (It's okay for the 25th position to be anon-space, since that'll still fit into a 25A field)
