thanks...i was worried i'm a bad programmer if i don't use regex...sorry for posting this here..if it's wrong

RegEx has LOTS of advantages, the question isn't a bad question but it really all depends on what you want to do.

 

If you don't need fancy matching rules, then explode is fine (in some cases better) but if you need 20 explode's to pull one thing out then regex it probably better!

 

PS:

Bad programmer rarely know they are bad, thats what makes them bad.. your probably just inexperanced.. but pratice makes per..... well longer nights and increased the price of coffee and/or red bull
