Re: [PHP] remove first character in text file
Just want to add to this with a little more info my text file is a list of email addresses with a % separating them. For example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED] Now sometimes I end up with a % at the beginning. For example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED] Or: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED] Now that causes me issues else where in the script. So what I need to do is check if the % character exists at the beginning of the file and remove any if the % is there. ideas? d Hi there.. I have a text file where I need to remove JUST the first character in the text file. Can anyone point me to a tutorial? d -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Start with fopen() - http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php Then use fread() - http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.fread.php There's many user-contributed comments that should be of use. The docs are also quite helpful. -M Hi there.. I have a text file where I need to remove JUST the first character in the text file.
