Process a list from a textarea input

What would be the best method for processing a string variable
containing a list in a text area. It would be something like:

123,2234
1,3345
12,223

each value set would either be separated by commas or by tabs.

I've seen plenty examples for reading a file a line at a time but not
a string.

Perhaps explode() is what you're looking for?
