regex - Creating a PHP array from space delimited text file -


i have text file listing of directories turn array. figured space delimiting work number of spaces varies between each item , spaces in directory name problem. parse text php array.

the text file has rigid structure looks this:

04/17/2013  09:49 pm    <dir>          directory 1 (1994) 03/11/2013  06:48 pm    <dir>          director 2 (1951) 04/15/2013  08:34 pm    <dir>          going number 3 (2000) 08/17/2012  09:50 pm    <dir>          4 (1998) 10/17/2011  05:12 pm    <dir>          , lastly 5 (1986)

i need keep folder date (not time), complete name of directory (as 1 entry) , year in parenthesis. in advance!

sure, use preg_split: 

<?php $str = "04/17/2013  09:49 pm    <dir>          directory 1 (1994) 03/11/2013  06:48 pm    <dir>          director 2 (1951) 04/15/2013  08:34 pm    <dir>          going number 3 (2000) 08/17/2012  09:50 pm    <dir>          4 (1998) 10/17/2011  05:12 pm    <dir>          , lastly 5 (1986)";  function sp($x) {     return preg_split("/\s\s+|\s*\((\d{4}).*\)/", $x,0,preg_split_delim_capture); } $array = preg_split("/\n/", $str); $processed = array_map('sp', $array);  print_r($processed);

this create array of arrays. each line become array, containing array each item. instance, $processed[0][3] contain this directory 1

keep in mind code assume spaces working division must 2 or more; 1 space considered part of same field. (you'll need hand hack according needs)

edit: added part year separated element of array. $processed[0][4] has 1994. (you don't need (), right?)

vb.net - Virtual Keyboard commands -

i wondering difference between virtual these keyboard commands is: keyeventf_extendedkey , keyeventf_keyup is. everywhere have looked gives me description based off integers , not want know each of them does. you've tagged question vb.net, these have nothing @ vb.net. they're constants defined in windows header files, use win32 api functions. as far difference, can't tell looking @ values. individual values not particularly important, that's why named identifiers used. what's important used , documentation functions tells mean. the first one, keyeventf_extendedkey , used keybdinput structure (which used along e.g. sendinput function) pass information synthesized keyboard input. if flag used, means scan code should interpreted extended key. technically, means scan code preceded prefix byte value 224 (&he0 in hexadecimal notation). the second one, keyeventf_keyup , 1 of flags available use structure. means key being released (going up)...
