[SOLVED] include spaces, but not double-spaces

[michaellunsford]

So I have a long string that I need to break into an array. One nasty field has spaces in it. I need to capture the single spaces, but stop at the first occurrence of a double-space.

 

([A-Z0-9]+)[\s]+([^\s{2}]+) just doesn't do it. Here's an example of the input:

 

634RA32    SOME STRING WITH SPACES                B        250      0  N

 

Any ideas?

<pre>
<?php
$str = '634RA32    SOME STRING WITH SPACES                B        250       0   N';
print_r(preg_split('/\s{2,}/', $str));
?>
</pre>

ahhhhhh preg_split. I forgot about preg_split!

The non-split solution:

 

<pre>
<?php
$str = '634RA32    SOME STRING WITH SPACES                B        250       0   N';
preg_match_all('/\b(??!\s{2,}).)+/', $str, $matches);
print_r($matches);
?>
</pre>
