Hello,
I have a file, "file.txt" and it looks like this

Company name: Big guy productions
email: [e-mail]

I want to get the company name out of the file. I am using the explode command to do this. Now here is my problem. How do i get the comapny name if each file is different or is dynamicaly generated? Witht he explode command, the names and vairables are predetermined. Suppose if the company name was dynamicaly inserted. How would i be able to receive all teh text between "company name:" and "email"

thank you for your time

$item = "Company name: Big guy productions email: [email][e-mail][/email] ";
$comp = ereg_replace(".*Company name:","",$item);
$comp = ereg_replace("email:.*","",$comp);

if(preg_match("/(?<=^Company name:).*?(?=^email:)/sim", $text, $m))
{ $company_name = $m[0];
}
else
{ // No company name given
}

I think that matches all the text preceded by "Company name:" and followed by "email:" where "Company name:" and "email:" are both at the start of their lines.
