Splitting a string into arrays within an array but only one delimiter?

Hi,

I'm trying to split a string into an separate arrays but the data is
only delimited by a comma. The actual data is one long string but the
info is in a regular format and repeats after every five ~'s .

i.e the data may be returned as

1.01~11844.69~0.0~0.0~2.0~1.02~117.3~0.0~0.0~0.0~1 .03~66.82~0.0~0.0~0.0~1.04~300.0~0.0~0.0~0.0~

I guess I just have to loop through every five ~'s but unsure of the
best way using php , with C# I guess I could use length but haven't
too much of a clue using php. At the moment I'm even considering a
dirty fix using preg_replace to change the delimiter every 5 ~'s but
there must be a more correct way

Thanks

It sounds vaguely like you want something like:

$setsOfFive = array_chunk(explode('~', $line), 5);

....but you need to be more clear of what you mean by "the data" and
"the actual data". Give an example of input and desired output.
