Hi.



Any reason why i shouldn't use this way of parsing a comma separated file??

I did download matrix_ libraries so i could use string_explode - but this code does that in a nice tiny little function?

*scratches head* so yeah, whats the catcH

The command is an undocumented one but works just fine in my experience.

Be warned though that there is one major flaw in the command in that is corrupts the value you are looping through, ie your a$ will end up not as the long string you initially defined, but the first delimited value, ie 120.

Boo!

thats quite a nice little function, i love it!
im now parsing and adding the tokens or pieces into an array.

Simple but works really well!
