Just to crarify - what I need to get back is the first number and the first
letter after that number (which can be "L", "P", or "W"). So in the example
I gave, I'll need to get back "12" and "L"
What I settled on is:
ereg("([0-9]*)([LPW])", $format, $bits);
list(, $cnt, $skip) = $bits;
But maybe there's a better way ??
