ActiveSheet.RangE("X:X").TextToColumns Destination:=Range("X#"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
    TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, Other:=True, OtherChar:="^"

Of course you will need to replace X:X by the proper column and X# by the proper range.

It took about 30 seconds using the macro recorder to get that code.
