Problem Parsing Large String [Solved]

[ken82m]

Okay here's something I've thought about but never done. And now I have a need to do it lol

I have three array's:

1st contains titles

2nd contains urls

3rd contains bitrates associated with the urls

So $array3[2] is the bitrate for the url in $array[2]2

My problem is the string could have contained one title or many titles. And each title has 3 or 4 url's associated with it.

Here's an example:

Array1      Array2       Array3
2              6              6
Title1   testurl.com       500
Title2   testurl.com      1600
           testurl.com    2200
           testurl.com    500
           testurl.com    1600
           testurl.com    2200

Question:

The problem is I don't know how to associate the titles with the urls in this format.

I do know how to get seperate arrays for each title.

But if I was in say a DO loop how would I generate and manage array names on the fly.

If there were 2 titles I would need the commands to use $array1/$array2/$array3 the first time,

and then $array4/$array5/$array6 the first time, etc.

Thanks,

Kenny

Okay new question above lol

[BrettF]

Maybe its better to show how you are getting the titles/urls?

It may then be easier to create a 2D array like so:

$arrary[0][0] = Number of Titles/URLS etc.

$arrary[1][0] = Title

$arrary[1][1] = Bit Rate

$arrary[1][2] = Number of URLS

$arrary[1][3] = URL 1

$arrary[1][x] = URL x

$arrary[n][0] = Title

$arrary[n][1] = Bit Rate

$arrary[n][2] = Number of URLS

$arrary[n][3] = URL 1

$arrary[n][x] = URL x

.....

Thanks Brett, I just didn't want to scare anyone with that lol

So I setup the code below to give you the exact same data and tables I'm working with.

EDIT:

Finally got it lol

I've got a new table $Count it stores the number of URL's associated with each Title.

I've gotten all the data on a 9x3 table.

I've setup the code below to give you the exact same data and tables I'm working with.

I hadn't bothered using the FOR command before this script,

really getting the hang of it and liking it

Thanks,

Kenny
