from string to variables...

[ferkar]

hi,


I have a basic string question.
How could I extract a data from a string?
For example:

"set123f214..." this string should be separated as "set","123" and "f","214"

Any idea?

This all depends.

Does "set" change ?
If "set" does change is it always 3 chars ?
Is it allways 'f' ?
Is it allways 1 char ?
Are there always 3 numbers after each e.g. "001" ?
Do the values go above 255 ?
Will you ever get a number in the first set of chars ?

If it is fixed then it is very easy.
Otherwise you will need a routine to parse the string

"set" never changes
"f"never changes

the string contain numeric values "123" changes from"0000" to"9999"

the data format is always in the form of "abc" and"1234"
thanks
