one line

[Anon]

I need some help. After I find if a value is in a file:

while(list(,$value) = each ($file)){
list ($theusername,$thepassword,$thename,$theemail,$theurl,$thetitle,$thebgcolor,$thelink,$thevlink) = split( "|", $value);
if($theusername == $id){$found = "1";}
}

How can I read the line that contains the variale "$theusername" so I can access all the other variables on that same line?

Well if you exit out of the code right after you find the value then the current variable set will contain the rest of the information. So simply modify the code as such.

while(list(,$value) = each ($file))
{
list ($theusername,$thepassword,$thename,$theemail,$theurl,$thetitle,$thebgcolor,$thelink,$thevlink) = split( "|", $value);

if($theusername == $id)
{
$found = "1";
break;
}
}

//Now you can access the current set of variables and do what you will with them

Simple ehe 🙂

OK, I don't understand. Could you explain a little more for an idiot? ;o)

Now how do I split the $value so it contains what I want?

What is the quertion here... how do I read the rest of the variables, or how do I change the variables to contain what I want to put in them and write them back to the file?

I figgured it out. I was just being an idiot (either that or I had programmers block ;o)
Thank you though!
