preg_replace, pattern can by cut by \n

[Anon]

Hi all,

I have problem that a newbie like me can t resolve without screaming.

I m under windows it s important because lines are delimites by \r\n not by \n only in nix like os.

I hav a pattern like

Bonjour toto // in one line
Bonjour
toto // but can take the form too
B
onjour toto // too ...

I try to find a script wich can make replcement of this pattern, i find preg_replace but don t find the option to work elsewhere on lines.

something like :
$data = join ("",file('./data.txt'));
$data=preg_replace('/Bonjour toto/s','Salut toi',$data);
echo $data;

thansk a lot for ur answers an 4 the forums.

you can get rid of all the \n's by using ereg_replace it would be something like.

<?

// Read in a file.
$filename=getcwd()."/filename.txt";
$fp=fopen($filename, "r") or die();
$datain=fread($fp, filesize($filename));
fclose($fp);

$newstring=ereg_replace("\n", "", $datain);

?>

Newstring will then have the entire file as one string with no newline characters.

You may need to reverse and escape the slashes under windows.

Mark.
