% Hi All,
% I have a text file that has entries like the following:
% user1:mbox1:
% user1:mbox2:
Good enough.
%
% I basically do: $mboxs = `cat file | grep user1 | cut -d: -f2';
Why?
% I then want to print out the data in the $mboxs variable (array)
% I am trying to use foreach but it does not work.. I am assuming the data is not
considered an array?
Right; all you've done is create a string variable with a bunch of
entries in it.
% Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks
I'd just fopen it, myself, rather than messing with the system call:
$fh = fopen("/tmp/file",'r') ;
while ( ! feof($fh) and list($user,$mbox) = explode(":",trim(fgets($fh))) )
{ $mboxes[] = $mbox ; }
fclose($fh) ;
print_r($mboxes) ;
If you want to maintain the relationship of userN to mboxN, you could
instead say
{ $mboxes[$user] = $mbox ; }
and then later address them by name instead of number.
