split an array

[hyster]

i have a set of array's with a similer layout as  t127201103111200

what i need to do is split it like this    t:1:27:2011:03:11:1200    (where the : is where i want the split but not add the : ).

so i end up with this.

$a = t

$b = 1

$c = 27

$d = 2011

$e = 03

$f = 11

$g = 1200

 

what i think i need to do is

split(char1($a), char2($b), char3,4($c)...........................)

 

but have no idea where to start.

 

Thanks for any help

Are all the lengths of the fields exactly as shown or could say the leading 1 ever be two digits?

thanks. i didnt think about the auto increment

t127201103111200

 

$a = t = not changable

$b = 1 = changable. auto incrament

$c = 27 = changable. auto incrament

$d = 2011 = not changable. year

$e = 03 = not changable. day

$f = 11 = not changable . month

$g = 1200 = not changable. time

Unless you have specific rules about the field lengths or the specific range of values for the fields, you won't be able to determine the $b and $c values.

 

For your example, how do you know that $b shouldn't be 12 and $c shouldn't be 7?
