This is probably a really dumb question, but I'm new at stripping lines for data.

I have editted a script so that it stores items like this

1000=Nick|request and stuff|status|date requested

To break it down
1000 == request id
Nick == users nick
request == request of the user, undertimned size.
status == Status of the request
date requested == obvious

Now i've tried using the [split $whatever "|"], but its doesn't do the job right without a ton of code. Is there an easier way to getting those 5 variables from that line without making 10 lines of code to do it?

Help would definately be appreciated.
