these are common it seems... I have a routine that returns a listing of users and all their information in a list format in an array
1: <userIDnumeric>(status): <userName> : <phoneNumber> : firstName : lastName : eMail@.com example: 1: 2233440000(IDLE): idiot : 1234567 : Iyam : Stupid : [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list can be long. The problem I am having is I need to know how to grab individual components out of the listing... Each list is an element in the array. I can grab each list doing a "foreach" but I need a reg-ex to grab only the username or only the phone number... Earlier reg-ex's I have written I have split lists on commons like the ":" but can I split this list into 7 parts then re-split # 2 again to have a total of all 8 list parts? This is not exactly what I am looking for...I would much rather like to "plug in" what I am looking for and be able to grab it out.. i.e. I would like to input which user and which item I want and have it output only those items... --user=1 --item=firstName User1-firstName=Iyam I just need the reg-ex...I can work out the rest of the programming...
