explode on this first: '^%%%%% -----'
then probably on explode ';' like Jay mentioned.
then you can probably massage the really weird stuff into shape
somehow, stuff like (wtf :-)):

The problem with that is there are about 40 different listings in the
one field.
Silver Small Corp;;;;;X^%%%%%\n#####\n
Gold Medium Corp;;;;;RE^%%%%%\n#####\n
Platinum Large Corp;;;;;YRE^%%%%%\n#####\n
being three of them so maybe this is a bettter way of listing it
... Silver Small Corp;;;;;X^%%%%%\n#####\nGold Medium
Corp;;;;;RE^%%%%%\n#####\nPlatinum Large Corp;;;;;YRE^%%%%%\n#####\n
...[/snip]
Try this:
$values = array(); // we'll put the extracted vars here
$str = "This is supposed to be your string";
$tmpStr = explode("#\n", $str);
foreach ($tmpStr as $foo) {
if (strlen(trim($foo)) > 0) {
array_push($values, substr($foo, 0, strpos($foo, ';')));
}
}
HTH,
