Extract just values that follow the numbers?

Extract just values that follow the numbers?

in this case yes.
like
out _catname[_catid]

Here better is findrx. All submatches (enclosed substrings) are exctracted to array starting from indice 1 (0 is for whole match).

Code:

Copy      Help

[color=blue]str [/color]s="1,test;2,site;3,quickmacros"
ARRAY([color=blue]str[/color]) a
[color=blue]str [/color]rx="1,(\w+);2,(\w+);3,(\w+)" [color=green];;if values contain only word characters
;str rx="1,(.+);2,(.+);3,(.+)" ;;if values contain any characters except newline[/color]
[color=blue]if[/color]([color=blue]findrx[/color](s rx 0 0 a)<0) [color=blue]ret[/color]

[color=blue]int [/color]i
[color=blue]for [/color]i 1 a.len
,[color=blue]out [/color]a[i]

[_pi]

that doesn't help.

i need to assign both php variables to qm_variables.

str rx="1,(\w+);2,(\w+);3,(\w+)"
findrx(return rx 0 0 temp)

_catid = 1
_catname = test
_catid = 2
_catname = site
_catid = 3
_catname = quickmacros

[_pi]

maybe i should make it bullet proof:

so every pair is

variable_name=value [linebreak]

i mean i can format (str)return in many ways in php.

do you have a suggestion for a quasi standard ?
