How could i format this

[Jaffasoft]

This is the way it is for 300 plus in a simple text file one line after the other:

one@yahoo.com one_name
two@yahoo.com two names

I want to change them all around and insert the '||||'s so it's formated to accept and import into this wordpress plugin for adding members.


one_name||||one@yahoo.com|
two||||one@yahoo.com|

Some on the list have two names eg John Black i just want it trimmed to the first names only 'John' bit only.

this is an old list i'm importing in from somewhere else.

can you make use of this method ?

arr = [];

lv = new LoadVars();
lv.load("names.txt");

/* - in names.txt -

one@yahoo.com Jack
two@yahoo.com John Black
three@yahoo.com Jane White
four@yahoo.com Jerry

*/

lv.onLoad = function(){
str = unescape(this).split("=&onLoad=[type Function]").join("");
arr = str.split("\r\n");
for(var n=0;n!=arr.length;n++){
arr[n] = arr[n].split(" ");
trace(arr[n][1]+"||||"+arr[n][0]+"|");
// copy the trace output to a new text file
}
};

/* - output = 

Jack||||one@yahoo.com|
John||||two@yahoo.com|
Jane||||three@yahoo.com|
Jerry||||four@yahoo.com|

*/

I need function to format number in action script2.0 not in Php

ransi1201 - have you replied to the correct thread ? .. i think not

please note - [ PHP ] tags are used to highlight code to make it easily
readable, it is not PHP script. If it was, we would say so

requires names.txt to work correctly.
