I have this string: 0|DY1497ORYOSLDY932OSLCPH|1|0|0
and I need to explode it like that:
0| DY1497 ORY OSL DY932 OSL CPH |1|0|0
$string1 = 'DY1497';
$string2 = 'ORY';
$string3 = 'OSL';
$string4 = 'DY932';
$string5 = 'OSL';
$string6 = 'CPH';
I searched, but all I could find is how to explode when the text is separated with /, -, etc. Any ideas?

Answer 1

The best choice is probably a regex:
if (preg_match('/|(.{6})(.{3})(.{3})(.{5})(.{3})(.{3})|/', $string, $matches)) {
echo $matches[1];
echo $matches[2];
echo $matches[3];
echo $matches[4];
echo $matches[5];
echo $matches[6];
}
This divides the string simply by length in characters. You may need to modify this as needed. See http://regular-expressions.info

Answer 2

I suggest to use substr() if you know the exact position of the characters you need

Answer 3

Son, it looks to me like you searching for some specific tokens up in this here string. What I reckon you can do is, make yerself one array outa little search patterns you might be a looking fer. Something like this here:
$patterns = array('ORY', 'OSL', 'CPH', 'DY[\d]+');
Then you can make yerself a nice big regexp outa that:
$regexp = '/(' . implode('|', $patterns) . ')/';
Then, what you gonna do is, use preg_match_all to find every one of them fellers thisaway:
preg_match_all($regexp, $string, $matches);
Now, you do that and then looka what you got in $matches. I'd wager it has what you need.

Another way of splitting up strings that consists of fixed length fields is with 'unpack' which is very suited to this job.
here is some tested code that demonstrates it:
<?php
$origSource = '0|DY1497ORYOSLDY932OSLCPH|1|0|0';
// expected result
$string1 = 'DY1497';
$string2 = 'ORY';
$string3 = 'OSL';
$string4 = 'DY932';
$string5 = 'OSL';
$string6 = 'CPH';
// get the string we are interested in...
$tempStr = explode('|', $origSource);
$source = $tempStr[1]; // string with fixed length fields
/* debug */ var_dump($source);
// define where the fixed length fields are and the indexes to call them in the output array
$format = 'A6field1/' . 'A3field2/' . 'A3field3/'. 'A5field4/'. 'A3field5/'. 'A*field6/' ; // make it clear where the fields are...
$dest = unpack($format, $source);
/* debug */ var_dump($dest);
?>

Answer 5

firstly you have to concat your string with a special character like -,#,$ etc...
then you can explode it.
after that you may use the following syntax in php to explod string......
<?php
$string= "0|$DY1497$ORY$OSL$DY932$OSL$CPH$|1|0|0";
$pieces = explode("$", $string);
?>
For see your Result:---
<?php
foreach ($pieces as $value)
{
echo "piece: $value<br />";
}
?>
I hope it will help you.
