Re: String /pattern formatting extraction question

Hi to all, I have the following pattern for a string: text1 /ptext2 /otext3 Does it always look like that?

text1(whitespace)/ptext2(whitespace)/otext3 Then use explode to create an array from it explode (" ",$stringpattern);

Now, I want to extract the text by "patterns" from this string by the following rule: no pattern -> text1 (what is before /o or /p) /p -> text2 (what is after /p) /o -> text3 (what is after /o) Here you can use ereg and foreach

foreach ($stringpattern as $key => $value) {

    $variable = substr_count("/",$value);
    if ($variable > 0) / has been found now extract the first two chars

} Or something like that ~ -- Smileys rule (cX.x)C --o(^_^o) Dance for me! ^(^_^)o (o^_^)o o(^_^)^ o(^_^o)
