Extracting data from string

Hi,
I want to extract string in two parts : alpha and numerical.
Here's what my string looks like
$test="y03|b227|r1|x2";

I could i seperate the y and 03 from the y03 first part of my string ?

Help appreciate.
Thanks.

is the 1st character gonna be a alpha numeric character and 2nd 3rd numerical characters???

If yes then u can get the values as

$Alphanumeric = $test[0];
$Numeric = $test[1].$test[2];

Hope this helps 🙂

Thanks for your help !

The first part a the string will always be a single alphabetical character, second par will be an integer (from 0 to 99999....)

preg_match_all will do exactly what you want. Look at the phone number example at the bottom:

I've found the solution using preg_match()

Thanks for your help.
