I'd appreciate it if someone could help me wrap my brain around this one. I've got a string like this: $string='"one two" three "four five six"';
I'd like to wind up with an array like this: one two three four five six Essentially, I would like to split up the string on spaces, but ignore spaces that are inside pairs of quotes. So: $string='"one two" three "four five" six "seven eight nine"'; should wind up as: one two three four five six seven eight nine I've tried using a regular expression to replace "one two" with "one_two" and "one two three" with "one_two_three", thinking that then I could split on spaces and then strip out the _, but I didn't have any luck with that, either. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
