I have a string that can be any length and contain any number or words. Each string also has, somewhere near end, a list of parameters that can begin with any number of five or six different parameter markers. I need to find the position of the first of these parameters markers, which can be in any order, so I can seperate the user string from the parameters...and I can't change the way the information is provided. The only way I could get this to work is, since there's only five different markers, locate the position of each marker in the string, stick it in an array, sort the array and find the first element that is greater than 3 (the strpos uses an offset of 3 since the user portion of the string cannot be less than three charcters long plus a space), this element has to be the marker and position that begins the parameter portion of the string. Anyone know of a better more elegant ( read as faster) way to handle this problem. rm __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!
