Pls Help - PHP String Question

Hi All,

First of all, I am fairly new to PHP and am in all honesty a "modifier"
rather then a "coder", but I am trying to learn.

If this is the wrong group to post, I would apprichate some forums /
newsgroups or websites that I could be directed to.

Here is my problem...

I host a killboard for a game (Eve Online) and the killboard has the
following code...

if( preg_match("(^Destroyed\:.*?)", trim($arrLines[$i])) && $strMode ==
0) {
$strVICTIMTYPE = trim(substr(trim($arrLines[$i]), 11, strlen($arrLines
[$i])));

....what this does is put whatever is past "Destoyed:" into the
"$strVICTIMTYPE" string.

Now things have changed with the way some information is presented and
we can have the following information...

Destroyed: <Various> Control Tower / <Various> (Laid The Final Blow)

What I need to do is manage this line output so...

"<Various> Control Tower" goes into one string.
" / " is ignored.
"<Various>" goes into another string.
" (Laid The Final Blow)" is ignored.

....I would truely apprichate any assistance here. As I am going around
in circles.

Many thanks.
