once again - wrong forum. but all u TA people are so damn smart...
trying to read some data from a cookie (written by php) that contains a user id. (in the example below.. the id is 2)
So, from asp.net, can someone suggest a way of extracting the id, or even converting the string below to a more legible format?
Thanks in advance,
Davo
code:
a%3A2%3A%7Bs%3A11%3A%22autologinid%22%3Bs%3A32%3A%22d49614a881b0263d1dda2990012e35a8%22%3Bs%3A
6%3A%22userid%22%3Bs%3A1%3A%222%22%3B%7D

in perl youd do a $/ = "%";
then count to 7 and split the string lololol
is it always the 7th "%"? too easy! |

ASP should have some URL Decode function, if not you can create one here: http://www.aspnut.com/reference/encoding.asp
using PHP's URLDECODE function that string returns:
a:2:{s:11:"autologinid";s:32:"d49614a881b0263d1dda2990012e35a8";s: 6:"userid";s:1:"2";}
After that it's a simple matter of using either a Regular Expression or a series STRSTR or Search functions to return the location of, "userid"
after that just right trim the length of the string - the integer returned by your string search + 14
then take the left chunk of the string until you find a "
There is an easier way to do this but that's the easiest way i can think of after my 3rd 7&7 |

Masonious - asp.net has a similar method Server.UrlDecode()
which returns the same string, I should manage fine from here on,
Thanks again,
