Hey guys, hopefully someone can help me with this, Im working on a script that parses another php file for an import, The file contains an insert statement that i neeed to extract the insert values from. I already have the files contents loaded into a var and i can extract the values i need using a messy combination of substr etc.

So for an example
I need to extract "blah,blah" into a string somehow, anyone have any idea's?

Cheers

If you already have "blah,blah", then why do you need to extract it? Please post the full code.

It's kind of complicated and i'll try and explain it a bit better.

What i am doing is extracting a php file from a zip archive the contents of the extracted file are stored in a var, now at the moment i know i can get it working by writing outputing that var to a temp text file then looping through it line by line untill i find the correct insert statement and then disecting the line to get the values i need from the insert statement, I was more hoping that someone could help me with a pattern to find the insert statement in the var without having to write it out to a file first.

at the moment there is no code but i know that i could do it the way above but would rather not have to write it out to a temp file.

Cheers
