Yes I looked at parse and strbreak, they don't seem to be what I want.

What I want is to get a string and split it into little strings every time it encounters a char such as "|". The PHP way:

$del_files_exploded = explode("|", $del_files);

This will delete | from the source and make $del_files into an array, so if the source was "abc.html|poo.txt|yayforme.php" it would make $del_files[0] = "abc.html", $del_filse[1] = "poo.txt" etc.

Anyway to do this with small?

I could do this the hard way...

new thing[32] = "1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8";
new Float:explode_int = 1;
new item_m[8][64]
new item_m_array_int = -1;

while(explode_int) {
    ++item_m_array_int
    copyc(thing,31,item_m[item_m_array_int],"|");
    replace(thing,31,"%s|",item_m[item_m_array_int]);
    if(item_m_array_int => 8) {
        explode_int = 0;
    }
}

Ok I can't get copyc to work...I put ch as "|" and it said arg mismatch...

I changed it to a number and it was fine? Erm...Help?

SOmething like this here :-/

stock explode( output[][], input[], delimiter ) 
{ 
        new nIdx = 0 
    new nLen = (1 + copyc( output[nIdx], MAX_STR_LEN-1, input, delimiter )) 

        while( nLen < strlen(input) ) 
        nLen += (1 + copyc( output[++nIdx], MAX_STR_LEN-1, input[nLen], delimiter )) 
}

Prometheus,

You need to use '|' for the delimiter not "|" (notice the single quotes instead of double quotes). A double quote will create a null terminated string instead of just the delimiter character you're trying to get.

Aaaah coolio Janzert, thanks both of you.

Hmm wait....could I put the explode function as native in the inc files?
