I have a set of char that always stats with numbers and end with letters like:  23112Adfafdwafas, and I need to saperate it into two varibles like:

$Set1 = the numbers
$Set2 = the charecters

regular expressions....


and even though it's in the wrong board I'll answer...

[code=php:0]
<?php
$chars = '23112Adfafdwafas';
preg_match('/([0-9]+)([a-zA-Z]+)/', $chars, $split);

list(, $numbers, $letters) = $split; // this isn't a typo, you dont want to include the first value so you should start with a comma

echo $numbers . ' | ' . $letters; // echos '23112 | Adfafdwafas'
?>
[/code]

before i got confused on what regex was, i was thinking preg_match would work beautifully
