[RESOLVED] How to convert string to array by detecting "TABS" and "Newline"

[bumc]

I need to convert a string to array by deleting "TAB" and "Newline" .

For example:
0.072 2.058 -2.36
57.11 2220.3 +10.0
(the space among the data above is using "TAB" key)

To convert "String" above to array:
array[0] ->0.072
array[1] ->2.058
array[2] ->-2.36
array[3] ->57.11
array[4] ->2220.3
array[5] ->+10.0

Hope someone provide solution, thx!

$arr = preg_split('/\s+/', $string);

It works! Thank you very much!!!

But how about this:

$info = preg_split('/\t|\n/',$theCdata);

actually what does the pattern means? Coz tis works as well~

NogDog's pattern splits on one or more whitespace ranges. Your pattern splits on tab or newline characters... which means that it shouldn't be doing the same thing thing your subject string has whitespace other than tabs and newlines (i.e., spaces) and may have consecutive whitespace.

Such as a CR and a LF for each new line (if the data came from a Windows OS).
