string parsing.

[Lost User]

how could i parse this string: "smiley<8><1315643>" say "test message" (dead) to this type: smiley say: test message (dead) but smiley and test message could be different each time. :)

You will need to provide a bit more information than what you've given. To parse the values <8> and <1215643> would have to mean something. I'm not sure where those numbers come from. You will need thier translation table. It's all downhill from there.
