Hello All,

Been beating my head on the wall trying to get this working. Especially
because of my *tweener level of php and regex experience.

I have this $filename = C17AA001.000

I want to split it like this $a = C17AA $b = 001 $c = .000

I have tried this but can't get it to work.

list($a, $b, $c,) = split("^[0-9a-zA-Z]{5}[0-9]{3}\.[0-9]{3}",$filename);

echo $a;
echo $b;
echo $c;

What am I missing here? Two days of googling and php.net have not
cleared me up.

Patrick
