It may or may not be overkill, depending on the complexity of the
delimiter and your split, but my first thought went to using preg_match
and assigning the $matches array. Then use sub-expressions (parenthesis)
to extract the parts you need. I use this all the time to, say, batch-
convert a a bunch of web pages for inclusion in a database, with header
field like metatag keywords and description extracted nicely.
Just give a shout here if you'd like to see some sample code, and I'll
see if I can hunt it down.
