Partitioning data out of .txt files

I have a lot of old data scanned from hand writen notes. It was scanned in to a .txt file, the result being one long string of words and numbers. See data sample attached "archers_fieldnotes_scan".
The data consist of a location (or the shorthand note of it), a number, its result, then the next location, number, its result....repeat.
I need to break this information down into a usable matrix, consisting of 1 column vector fot the location, 1 column vector for the numeric value, and a thrid column vector of the result.
All I have been able to do with it so far is read the .txt file in as one long string.
txt=readlines("archer_fieldnotes_scan.txt");
This is the first time I am attempting to partition something this string dependant. Any suggestions?
