I have next no knowledge wroth speaking of concerning binary data - and the
string screw problem mentioned above makes it impossible for me to determine whether
I am really on the right path here but take a look at the following:

$line = "!v2005*08|05+09?0419*!";
$output = unpack ( "x1 A1 A4 x1 A2 x1 A2 x1 A2 x1 A2 x1 A2 A1", $line );
$output2 = unpack ( "x1A1A4x1A2x1A2x1A2x1A2x1A2A1", $line );
$output3 = unpack ( "x1/A1/A4/x1/A2/x1/A2/x1/A2/x1/A2/x1/A2/A1", $line );
$output4 = unpack ( "x1_a/A1_b/A4_c/x1_d/A2_e/x1_f/A2_g/x1_h/A2_i/x1_j/A2_k/x1_l/A2_m/A1_n", $line );
var_dump( $output, $output2, $output3, $output4 );'

this page:
http://nl2.php.net/unpack

.... does mention that the php unpack() implementation is somewhat different to the perl one
(btw I'm a complete perl luddite! - I don't think my brain can cope with that much cryptic crap
;-) - that said thank Larry for PCRE!)

I'd be very grateful if you report back on your progress - I for one can definitely learn something
here!

rgds,
jochem

ps - welcome to phpland perlie ;-)
