You can break each data by - and build the array in as much as needed. Notice the use of & in the code as using reference to result array.
Example:
$str = "15-02-01-0000,15-02-02-0000,15-02-03-0000,15-02-04-0000,15-02-05-0000,15-02-10-0000,15-02-10-9100,15-02-10-9101,15-15-81-0000,15-15-81-0024";
$arr = explode(",", $str);
$res = [];
foreach($arr as $e) { // for each line in your data
$a = explode("-", $e); //break to prefix
$current = &$res;
while(count($a) > 1) { // create the array to that specific place if needed
$key = array_shift($a); // take the first key
if (!isset($current[$key])) // if the path not exist yet create empty array
$current[$key] = array();
$current = &$current[$key];
}
$current[] = $e; // found the right path so add the element
}
The full result will be in $res.

correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think you can do this with a simple regexp. in a full regexp implementation you could use something like this :
$parts = preg_split("/(?<!<[^>]*)./", $input);
but php does not allow non-fixed-length lookbehind, so that won't work. apparently the only 2 that do are jgsoft and the .net regexp. Useful Page
my method of dealing with this would be :
function splitStringUp($input, $maxlen) {
$parts = explode(".", $input);
$i = 0;
while ($i < count($parts)) {
if (preg_match("/<[^>]*$/", $parts[$i])) {
array_splice($parts, $i, 2, $parts[$i] . "." . $parts[$i+1]);
} else {
if ($i < (count($parts) - 1) && strlen($parts[$i] . "." . $parts[$i+1]) < $maxlen) {
array_splice($parts, $i, 2, $parts[$i] . "." . $parts[$i+1]);
} else {
$i++;
}
}
}
return $parts;
}
you didn't mention what you want to happen when an individual sentence is >8000 chars long, so this just leaves them intact.
sample output :
splitStringUp("this is a sentence. this is another sentence. this is an html <a href="a.b.c">tag. and the closing tag</a>. hooray", 8000);
array(1) {
[0]=> string(114) "this is a sentence. this is another sentence. this is an html <a href="a.b.c">tag. and the closing tag</a>. hooray"
}
splitStringUp("this is a sentence. this is another sentence. this is an html <a href="a.b.c">tag. and the closing tag</a>. hooray", 80);
array(2) {
[0]=> string(81) "this is a sentence. this is another sentence. this is an html <a href="a.b.c">tag"
[1]=> string(32) " and the closing tag</a>. hooray"
}
splitStringUp("this is a sentence. this is another sentence. this is an html <a href="a.b.c">tag. and the closing tag</a>. hooray", 40);
array(4) {
[0]=> string(18) "this is a sentence"
[1]=> string(25) " this is another sentence"
[2]=> string(36) " this is an html <a href="a.b.c">tag"
[3]=> string(32) " and the closing tag</a>. hooray"
}
splitStringUp("this is a sentence. this is another sentence. this is an html <a href="a.b.c">tag. and the closing tag</a>. hooray", 0);
array(5) {
[0]=> string(18) "this is a sentence"
[1]=> string(25) " this is another sentence"
[2]=> string(36) " this is an html <a href="a.b.c">tag"
[3]=> string(24) " and the closing tag</a>"
[4]=> string(7) " hooray"
}

I think the problem here is that your encodings consider ä and å different symbols to 'a'. In fact, the PHP documentation for strtr offers a sample for removing accents the ugly way :(

Experiment shows that indicating UTF-16 rather than UTF-16BE does what you want:
iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 myfile.txt

Complete working code. I know this is long, but it's a sure-shot way used by Wordpress.
