PHP split string into integer element and string

I have a directory with these files

FILEA10.TXT
FILEB20.TXT
FILEC5.TXT

I need to read the list into array:

filea => 10
fileb => 20
filec => 5

What is the fastest way or function to do this?

Answer 1

$arr = array();
foreach (glob('*.TXT') as $file) {
   list($name,$num) = preg_split('/\.|(?<=\D)(?=\d+)/', $file);
   $arr[$name] = $num;
}
