String Question

[kevinridge]

Hello,
I have confusing string question. I have a string like this (example):

[PHP]
<?php $a = "
{FILE: hello}
hello contents
{FILE: hello2}
hello2 contents
"; ?>
[/PHP]


What im trying to do is when the code reads {FILE: *} <- it makes that file. Than it puts all the contents in the file until it finds another {FILE: *} or the end of the string.

I am sort of lost in the right direction to do this. Any sort of help would be great!

first i have to say that i dont think php is the right tool for that, use awk or sed,
with php u need to use
strpos
preg_split
fopen family
explode
i wouled use strpos to get the position of "{" and then explode the string between first "{" to "}" then array all the rest of the string from "}" to "{"

take that array and use the fopen function to create the file with the name u want.

i am sure theat this is not very efficient
