[SOLVED] reading a tab delimited file

[hyeteck]

hey guys,

 

when you use the explode method to separate the chunks of data, will it recognize 2 delimiters in a row as one?

 

$chunks = explode("	", $buffer);

 

for example when i use that code above, my $buffer contains a string of data that is separated by tabs.  So if i have 2 tabs in a row, will it create an empty element in the chunks array or will it just disregard the extra tab and move onto the next chunk of data in the string?

It will create an empty element.

 

Also, if it is tab delimited, use the "\t" character to explode on.
