Probably not the fastest or most elegant but:

IDL> a='2004-01-01 00:10:22'
IDL> ddtt=STRSPLIT(a,' ', /EXTRACT)
IDL> date=STRSPLIT(ddtt[0],'-',/EXTRACT)
IDL> time=STRSPLIT(ddtt[1],':',/EXTRACT)
IDL> print, date
2004 01 01
IDL> print, time
00 10 22

date and time will be 3 element vectors where date[0] is year, time[0] is
hour, date[1] is month, time[1] is minute, etc...
