esport Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Hi Guys, I have .csv file that I want to extract each bit of data which separated by the comma. This is how I am currently doing it. list($part_number, $description, $brand, $rrp, $location) = explode(",", $line); However if there is a comma that is used inside quotation marks, the function 'explode', picks the comma up and throws off the rest of the data. For example 400001,"HEAD, CYLINDER",TGB,0.00 ,0 Notice the "HEAD, CYLINDER". That should not be split up. Im sure there is a way to do this by using regexp but I have never used reg exp before. Could anyone help? Thanks Daniel Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/174160-exploding-a-csv-file/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
