checking if a string contains a certain piece of info.

[danielson2k]

How can I tell if a string contains a certain portion of information?

For example, im reading from a winamp playlist file and I want the line :

NumberOfEntries=20

to be stripped down to just 20 and saved as a variable.

what about preg_match()?
you can specify a third argument that will store the match and matches of sub-patterns in an array.

the pattern should be fairly easy in this case, like
/NumberOfEntries=(\d+)/

the array would contain the complete match 'NumberOfEntries=20' as first element and '20' as second.
