Any questions involving matching text strings to patterns - the pattern is called a "regular expression."

I have a text file which contains lines with the following form.
What I would like to have as a result:
Code: Select all
Array
(
ї0] => (9919) 05/18/05 8-0-0-9
ї0] => 9919
ї1] => 05/18/05
ї2] => Array
(
ї0] => 8
ї1] => 0
ї2] => 0
ї3] => 9
)
)
Code: Select all
$regex = "e;#^\((\d{1,4})\)\t\t(\d\d/\d\d/\d\d)\t((\d)-(\d)-(\d)-(\d))#"e;;
preg_match( $regex, $pick, $parts );
Code: Select all
Array
(
ї0] => (9919) 05/18/05 8-0-0-9
ї1] => 9919
ї2] => 05/18/05
ї3] => 8-0-0-9
ї4] => 8
ї5] => 0
ї6] => 0
ї7] => 9
)
Can I somehow make a 2d array with a preg_match pattern?

Why don't you just put the preg_match in a wrapper funtion, and then fill in your own array with the match results. Easy as that!
Code: Select all
function myVeryOwnWrapperFunction ($pick) {
$regex = "#^\((\d{1,4})\)\t\t(\d\d/\d\d/\d\d)\t((\d)-(\d)-(\d)-(\d))";
preg_match( $regex, $pick, $parts );
return array (
$parts[0],
$parts[1],
$parts[2],
array (
$parts[4],
$parts[5],
$parts[6],
$parts[7]
)
);
}

Sounds like a plan, i was just hoping that there was some super cool regex trick to make a multidimensional array
