is there any way to use explode like this?

[kelphyr]

Like if I have a line like this:

501,Red_Potion,Red Potion,0,50,,70,,,,,0xFFFFFFFF,7,2,,,,,,{ itemheal rand(45,65),0; },{},{}

 

list($script,$equip,$unequip) = explode("...", $line);

 

... = { get the stuff here inbetween } so instead of being one symbol the first one is { then } then { then }....

does that make sense?

i need to get the 3 inbetween {} {} {}

explode() isn't that smart unfortunately.  Actually I don't think any php functions can handle that sort of csv data easily.

 

If you know the three {} are always at the end, you can chop those ones off and deal with them specially.  That might be the best way to go about it.  You can explode() them on '{', and then find and remove the trailing '}' with str_replace().  The earlier data looks like it can be split safely on ','

<?php
$data = '501,Red_Potion,Red Potion,0,50,,70,,,,,0xFFFFFFFF,7,2,,,,,,{ itemheal rand(45,65),0; },{},{}';
preg_match_all('/(?<=\{)[^}]*/', $data, $matches);
print_r($matches);
?>
