problem with text string

[scialom]

Hi

I have this text file:
10:00:02:07 10:00:05:08
Presented by
the West Bengal Government

10:00:05:19 10:00:10:06
Based on the novel by

10:00:11:03 10:00:14:19

PATHER PANCHALI

And I need to convert it to this format:
10:00:02:07 , 10:00:05:08 , Presented by | the West Bengal Government
10:00:05:19 , 10:00:10:06 , Based on the novel by
10:00:11:03 , 10:00:14:19 PATHER PANCHALI

how do I do it?
thanks,
Assaf

That was quite a tricky one. But somehow I managed to get what you wanted by reading the textfile line by line:

$phile="http://www.urdomain.com/text.txt";
$text=file($phile);

for ($i=0; $i<count($text); $i++)
{
	switch($i)
	{
		case 0:
		$t=explode(' ',$text[$i]);
		$finaltext=$t[0].' , '.$t[1].' , ';
		break;

	case 1:
	$finaltext.=$text[$i].' | ';
	break;

	case 2:
	$finaltext.=$text[$i].'<br>';
	break;

	case 4:
	$t=explode(' ',$text[$i]);
	$finaltext.=$t[0].' , '.$t[1].' , ';
	break;

	case 5:
	$finaltext.=$text[$i].'<br>';
	break;

	case 7:
	$t=explode(' ',$text[$i]);
	$finaltext.=$t[0].' , '.$t[1].' ';
	break;

	case 9:
	$finaltext.=$text[$i];
	break;
	}

}

echo $finaltext;

This little script assumes that you have the textfile just the way you said it is(Empty lines etc.).
