Re: Parsing text file and dividing column into three...PLEASE help :)

Ok, I have written code to go through the file grabbing pretty much what I need. Now in the array after explode ($oldline=explode("|", $buffer);) I need to split apart $oldline[9]. Each element should hold no more than 4000 characters. So I will dump this all into a new array. What would be the best way to do this?
