searching in files

Anon

Hello folks,

Can someone please help ?

I need to write a script to find a word within a file and then find the next none white space after the tag and check to see that it is a zero ?

Kind Regards

can you give a sample of what you are searching in, and what you are searching for?

Hello Vincent,

I will be receiving a server to server response in the form of a text file which looks like the following..

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-gb">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<title>IVR Interface</title>
</head>

<body>

0 OK<br>

<br>

</body>

I will then need to search this file for the <body> tag and check that the next character printed is a 0 or 1 ?

Would i use the ereg functions ?
If so what would i search for ??

Kind regards

Paul.

hey, hold your horsies...
I actually do have a life besides PHPbuilder :-)

try this. Put the html code in $sString.

$sString = preg_replace("/\n/", '', $sString);
$sString = preg_replace("/\r/", '', $sString);
preg_match_all("/<body>(.*?)<\/body>/si", $sString, $aParts);
echo '<pre>';
echo $aParts[1][0];
echo '</pre>';

I've had my head down al afternoon and only just returned to post a solution.

Just seen yours and we will give it a go thanks

In the meantime my Boss and I have established the following solutions but it only works if there are only 2 pieces of text between the bodt tags.

which in our case this is what we are doing

code follows

Thanks

Boss & I have established an answer as follows

where reply = the file string to inspect
- note if the file to inspect contains HTML tags then the fread funstion
will ignore ALL tags including the <body> & </body> (this took a while to click!)

$length=1000000;

$fp = fopen($reply, 'r') or die("Couldn't create file.") ;

$string = fread($fp,$length) ;

if(ereg("^(.+)\ (.+)$", $string,$arr)) {

   $ivr_result= $arr[1];
   $ivr_comment= $arr[2];


          } else {



              }

echo($ivr_result."---------");
echo($ive_comment);

Cheers
Paul
