splitting numbers in a cell

I have a cell like this: NODES

    1.0000000008.00000000.000000000
    2.0000000007.50000000.000000000
    32.0000000010.0000000.000000000
    42.5000000010.0000000.000000000
    52.000000008.00000000.000000000
    62.500000007.50000000.000000000
    7.000000000.000000000.000000000
    810.0000000.000000000.000000000
    910.000000010.0000000.000000000
   101.000000008.00000000.000000000
   11.00000000010.0000000.000000000
   121.0000000010.0000000.000000000
   13.0000000009.50000000.000000000
   141.000000009.50000000.000000000
   152.000000009.50000000.000000000
   162.500000009.50000000.000000000
   1710.00000009.50000000.000000000
   18.0000000007.87500000.000000000
   19.0000000007.75000000.000000000
   20.0000000007.62500000.000000000
   212.1250000010.0000000.000000000
   222.2500000010.0000000.000000000

I need to separate the node number, x coord, y coord and z coord. I was wondering if there was a simple way of doing it. Thanks.

If A is your matrix

x=A(:,1)
y=A(:,2)
z=a(:,3)
