Re: Re[4]: [PHP] Searching for text in a file

2001-09-10 Thread Kelly Barrett 

Richard,
Then you need to use something like "explode()" to get only the part you
want.

e.g.  If the file is delimited by spaces, then have something like this:

$fd = fopen ("virtusertable", "r");
$variable= "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$count = 1;
while(feof($fd) == false) {
$line_text = fgets($fd, 2048);
$strings = explode(" ", $line_text);<--- Splits the line at
every space into an array of string
 if ($variable == trim($strings[0])) {
echo "Match at line number $count";
 break;
 }
 ++$count;
 }

If the file is tab delimited, you will need:
$strings = explode("\t", $line_text);

Hello Kelly,
Your right the script does work but my problem is this
the file I am searching looks like this below.
And if I search on [EMAIL PROTECTED] alone it does not find it but
if I search on [EMAIL PROTECTED]   yourns it finds it. I need it
to find just the email address not the stuff after it.


[EMAIL PROTECTED]   yourns
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  root
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   majordomo_site1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] owner-majordomo_site15
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sys

RE: Re[2]: [PHP] Searching for text in a file

2001-09-10 Thread Kelly Barrett 

Richard,
I just put together a script using that code exactly, and it worked.

All I can say is make sure that what you are searching for is actually in
the file you are searching.

Remember that the string you are searching for needs to match the entire
contents of the line, not just a substring of the line.

Try some simple tests that you know are sure to work. i.e. Make a
virtusertable file that is just a couple of lines.

Hello Kelly,
Yes I noticed the variable after I sent the message
Now I have it like this.  But If I add something that is in the file it
does not find it.

$fd = fopen ("virtusertable", "r");
$variable= "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
   $count = 1;
while(feof($fd) == false) {
$line_text = fgets($fd, 2048);
if ($variable == trim($line_text)) {

break;

RE: [PHP] Searching for text in a file

2001-09-10 Thread Kelly Barrett 

Hi Richard,
First, I think it should be:
$variable = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
instead of:
> $line_text= "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";

as you overwrite $line_text with your fgets.

Also:
> if ($variable = trim($line_text)) {
Should be:
 if ($variable == trim($line_text)) {

Otherwise you are doing an assignment, which will always be true.

Finally, your while loop should probably be:
while(feof($fd) == false) {
$line_text = fgets($fd, 2048);

Because fgets returns EOF at the end of a file, not necessarily false (I
THINK EOF currently is false, though theoretically EOF could change to any
value).

Cheers,
Kelly.

You are assigning here - use == for comparison.

I am having a problem with searching through a file for a curtain
  text. Like the text below [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not exists in the file
  but when I run this it gives me a Match at line number.
  I need to run three or four names at a time through this script
  to see if they are already there. But it does not seam to work.
  And I can not figure out way. A small sample of the file is below.

$fd = fopen ("virtusertable", "r");
$line_text= "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
   $count = 1;
while ($line_text = fgets($fd, 2048)) {
if ($variable = trim($line_text)) {
   echo "Match at line number $count";
break;
}
++$count;
