How to delete text with replies for archive pages

[willeffects]

Hey Everyone,

We are writing a web archive to a mail list server. We want to be able to delete the footer that comes through on every email so that we don't end up with those long footers that are 4x repeated sometimes like in the example here:

PHP General Mailing List http://www.php.net/)
To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe <email protected>
For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help
<email protected>
To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin <email protected>

php-list-admin <email protected>

So in this case we want to delete each one of those lines and the > in front of them. What would be the best way to do this?

Thanks!
Will

spool each email into an array using [man]explode[/man] (or [man]file[/man] if each email is a separate file) then do something like:

foreach ($array as $key => $value)
{
	$value = trim($value);
	if ($value{0} == '>') {unset($array[$key]);}	
}
$cleaned_up_email = implode("\n", $array);
echo $cleaned_up_email;
