Extracting certain data from a text file

Anon

Heres what I am trying to do?

I have a text file with System Information in it, what I would like to do is extract this data and place it in html or php format? The problem is how can i do this with PHP?? Below is what the text file contains. I would like to extract everything under SYSTEMS Summary and make it as a variable or some type of function that way I can call it when ever I want. Can anyone help??

heh
you need to use code to open the file and read till yah get toa certain string ie
[System Summary]

then read till yah get to
[Hardware Resources]

//Get the last date in witch data was exported
$date="./date.txt";
echo $date;
$fd3 = fopen ($date, "r");
while (!feof ($fd3)) {
$buffer2 = fgets($fd3, 1000);
}

read up on fopen fgets and basically all the funtions that are asociated with them
go to www.php.net and read the funtions and especially the user added notes as i find them apsolutely invaluable in solving issues.

you will have to do abit of pissing about with that but i would read yah file in line by line
into an array. Search to see if the array contains
[System Summary] then noe that key in the array and keep reading out of it line by line till yah get to [Hardware Resources]
and inbetween them 2 points you cna do what ever yah like with the array data

$fd4 = fopen ($filename3, "r");
while ($id_store = fgetcsv ($fd4,10,"\n")) {
//Make the array containing all the ID's that have been curently inputed.
$id_array[] =pos($id_store);
}
// print_r($id_array);
fclose ($fd4);

sorat something like that

use the $something =pos($your_array) to get the data to a vriable u can use.
