[PHP] Re: parsing a string

[M. Sokolewicz]

Not sure what you want exactly, but here's a way using regexps to 
retrieve the strings seperatly:
<?php
$string = 'Campus||||||||Bob (Williams)~\\\\\\\\\toms more 
crap)~\\\\\\\\\blah blah blah)~\\\\\\\\\';
preg_match('#([^|]*)[|]+([^|]*)~[\]+([^\]*)~[\]+([^\]*)~[\]+#Ui', 
$string, $res);
$campus = $res[1];
$bob = $res[2];
$crap = $res[3];
$blah = $res[4];
?>
Now, if you wanted the positions... then something like this would work:

<?php
$string = 'Campus||||||||Bob (Williams)~\\\\\\\\\toms more 
crap)~\\\\\\\\\blah blah blah)~\\\\\\\\\';
preg_match('#([^|]*)[|]+([^|]*)~[\]+([^\]*)~[\]+([^\]*)~[\]+#Ui', 
$string, $res);

$campus = strpos($string, $res[1]);
$bob = strpos($string, $res[2]);
$crap = strpos($string, $res[3]);
$blah = strpos($string, $res[4]);
?>
