[Resolved] Easy one! String of 0010101 - need to extract each.

[medar]

I have a string:

00011000011010000010000000000001001101100005

The zeros and ones above each correspond to a text comment...ie if the first is a zero, my text is NULL, but if it is a 1, my text is "Blue".

Each of the 43 digits above are NULL if NO (0)...and a different text comment if YES (1). The "5" at the end signifies the END of the string.

What command do I use to look at each variable and assign a text comment to each?

for($i=0;$i<strlen($numStr);$i++) {
if($numStr{$i} && $numStr{$i} != '5') {
switch($i) {
case 1: $comment.="Blue"; break;
case 2: $comment.="foo"; break;
..
case 43: $comment.="lastone"; break;
}
}
}

That worked perfectly! I need to learn more about the whole "switch/case" thing...I have seen it used but never used it myself.

Thank you.
