PHP: Parsing data within multidimensional array - php

Question

I have an array which looks like this:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => TE=140414100000 cd =AB1234 ggg =1234567 gbh =2
[7] => nd: DA1AAAAAAAAAA: TD = 140414:
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => TE=140414100000 cd =AB1234 ggg =1234567 ghb =2
[7] => nd: DA1AAAAAAAAAA: TD = 140414:
)
)
what I am trying to acomplish is to parse data within each sub array and create a new multidimensional array with the parsed data.
Example: the data in parentheses below is what should be returned in new multidimensional array
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => te=(140414100000) cd =AB(1234) ggg =1234567 ghb =2
[7] => nd: DA(1)(AAAAAAAAAA): TD = (140414):
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => te=(140414100000) cd =AB(1234) ggg =1234567 ghb =2
[7] => nd: DA(2)(BBBBBBBBBB): TD = (140414):
)
)
What I want to return:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => 140414100000
[1] => 1234
[2] => 1
[3] => AAAAAAAAAA
[4] => 140414
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 140414100000
[1] => 1234
[2] => 2
[3] => BBBBBBBBBB
[4] => 140414
)
).
So my question is what would be the best way to acomplish this?
This is what I have come up with. It works, however is seems very inefficient as it adds a lot of empty arrays which have to be cleaned up.
foreach($new as $key => $val){
foreach($val as $res){
preg_match_all('%te=([0-9]{12})\s%',$res,$matches);
$out[$key][] = $matches[1][0];
preg_match_all('%cd\s+=AB([0-9]{4})%',$res,$matches);
$out[$key][] = $matches[1][0];
preg_match_all('%nd:\sDA([0-9]{1})%',$res,$matches);
$out[$key]['node'] = $matches[1][0];
preg_match_all('%nd:\sDA[0-9]{1}([a-zA-Z]{10,14}):%',$res,$matches);
$out[$key]['rset'] = $matches[1][0];
preg_match_all('%td\s=\s([0-9]{6}):%',$res,$matches);
$out[$key]['trdt'] = $matches[1][0];
}
}
foreach($out as $v){
$v = array_values(array_filter($v));
$return[] = $v;
}
return $return;
Thanks in advance.
UPDATED:
This worked and is much more efficient. Thanks for the example Shankar
foreach($new as $key => $val){
$v = implode('', $val);
preg_match_all("%te=([0-9]{12})|cd\s+=AB([0-9]{4})|nd:\sDA([0-9]{1})|([A-Z]{3,7}):|td=\s([0-9]{6}):%",$v,$matches);
$new_array[$key]['time'] = $matches[1][0];
$new_array[$key]['code'] = $matches[2][1];
$new_array[$key]['sp'] = $matches[3][2];
$new_array[$key]['rset'] = $matches[4][3];
$new_array[$key]['trfdt'] = $matches[5][4];
}
echo "<pre>";
print_r($new_array);
echo "</pre>";

Loop through your array and implode each array element and use a preg_match_all() to capture all the entries bewteen ( and ) and then pass those matches to your new array.
foreach($arr as $k=>$arr1)
{
$v = implode('',$arr1);
preg_match_all('^\((.*?)\)^', $v, $matches);
$new_arr[]=$matches[1];
}
print_r($new_arr);
