How To Explode a Delimiter

What about using PHP’s explode() in your template?

Is there not a EE function or plugin that would handle replacing characters. For instance within this entry there are multiple items separated by a comma. I would like to replace the comma with a . Are you saying that the best way to this is by using a PHP query and then the explode function?

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="guitars"}
{series}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

You could put explode() in a plugin, too, of course. If you use PHP on Output you can easily let EE do it’s thing, as it were, then treat the results with a dose of PHP. I’m sure there are some third-party plugins, too.

webster, how would you want the ee template code to look (it would be easy to whip up an EE plugin to replace the php function, seems pretty useful to me). Is this what you are thinking?

{exp:explode input="blah,one,two,three" delimiter=","}
{item}

{/exp:explode}

Actually it looks like this plugin would do the trick
