If this is PHP, this is what you can do.
CODE
<?php
// Example 1
$pizza = "piece1,piece2,piece3,piece4,piece5,piece6";
$pieces = explode(",", $pizza);
print $pieces[0]; // piece1
print $pieces[1]; // piece2
// Example 2
$data = "foo:*:1023:1000::/home/foo:/bin/sh";
list($user,$pass,$uid,$gid,$gecos,$home,$shell) = explode(":",$data);
print $user; // foo
print $pass; // *
?>
The explode function is php is just there for your purpose

Split a string by string (PHP 3, PHP 4 )
array explode ( string separator, string string [, int limit] )
Returns an array of strings, each of which is a substring of string formed by splitting it on boundaries formed by the string separator. If limit is set, the returned array will contain a maximum of limit elements with the last element containing the rest of string.
If separator is an empty string (""), explode() will return FALSE. If separator contains a value that is not contained in string, then explode() will return an array containing string.
Although implode() can, for historical reasons, accept its parameters in either order, explode() cannot. You must ensure that the separator argument comes before the string argument.
