Re: 2D array from file

I think this is not working because "\t" is a regular expression and explode only works on strings...... Actually, I have no idea and I feeling very confused right now but maybe try "split" and see how it goes. Brian At 13:37 26/09/2001 -0400, John Frenzel wrote:

I have created a 2D array, then written it into a tet file. The file is written such that all the secondary array elements (the rows) are seperate lines, with the "columns" tab-delimited. Now I'd like to read this file back into a 2D array. I thought this should work: $array_file = file ("array.dat"); for ($k=0; $k <= 63; $k++) {

    $array[$k] = explode( "\t", $array_file[$k] );

} I know that $array[$k] is a valid variable, and that explode returns an array, so I'm not clear why this isn't working. If I use $array = explode( "\t", $array_file[$k] ); I get the line without any trouble. What am I missing?
