importing text file

[Anon]

I have a text file that is formatted as such

Something - SomethingElse
<4 blank lines>
SomethingMore
<4 blank lines>
Something - SomethingElse
<4 blank lines>
SomethingMore
<4 blank lines>
and so on

Anyone have any ideas on what I would use to get this into seperate records that are $Something, $SomethingElse, $SomethingMore for displaying in php or even importing into mysql?

I would even go for $Something and just $SomethingMore with $Something really being $Something-$SomethingElse. I don't know if that makes sense.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

$fp = fopen("yourfile.ext","r");
$file = fread($fp,filesize("yourfile.ext"));
fclose($fp);

$records = explode("\n\n\n\n\n",$file);
foreach($records as $record_num => $data) {
$data_values = explode(" - ",$data);
foreach($data_values as $data_num => $record) {
echo "\$data_values[$data_num] = $record";
}
}

That should get you started... You may need to adjust the number of linebreaks I am splitting the file by, but as far as I can tell that should be close enough.
Let me know if you have any further questions...
