I coded a script, which parses incoming data from an mailbox (imap via socket), from which I now need to extract the data. What is the best way to do this? I had several attempts with regular expressions but never got something well working... I cutted at '\r\n' and had one array per datapackage which I then searched for keywords with strpos() [e.g. 'Date'] and then used substr() to get the data [e.g. 18.11.01 00:04:04] Maybe someone here has a better solution!! The big problem is that some values don't have a fixed number of digits, which makes substr() not a very good choice...
