Removing Line Containing String $x

abockover

Hello,

I need to remove all lines in a file containing the string $x.

If $x = "hello";

and my file contents are below (line nums not part of file):

1 Da da da
2 How are you today
3 This is really giving me problems
4 Hello, how are you
5 Just fine, how about you
6 Hello
7 Stop saying Hello to me

I need to remove the lines 4, 6, and 7

Thanks for your help,

Aaron

Something like this

$fdr=fopen("filename", "r");
$fdw=fopen("fileout", "w");
while (!feof($fdr)) {
$s=fgets($fdr, 1024);
if (strpos($s, "hello")===false) {
fputs($fdw, $s);
}
}
fclose($fdr);fclose($fdw);
// if all went well delete input file
// rename output file to input file

Here is a class that can do what you want..

class delWord {

var $theWord;
var $filename;
var $fileout;


function openfile ($filename, $theWord,$fileout) {
	$this->theWord = $theWord;
	$this->filename = $filename;
	$this->fileout =$fileout;
	$readdata = fopen($this->filename, "r");
	$writendata=fopen($this->fileout, "w");

while($line = fgets($readdata, 1024)) {

			if(strpos($line , "$this->theWord") === false) {
				fputs($writendata, $line);
				}
	 }
  }

}

$obj = new delWord;
$obj ->openfile('C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\php_test\hello.txt','Hello','HelloNew.txt');
