str replace

n_wattam

hi could someone help me with something please... i'm not sure if this is the correct/best command to use but i'm after doing the following

I want to open a document, remove all numbers and spaces, then at the end of each line add ".com"

So, if the data was:

00001 austin texas
00002 dallas texas

That I would get a file with:
austintexas.com
dallastexas.com

i can do the input and output fine its the convertion of the string etc..

Untested:

$text = file('filename.txt');
$output = array();
foreach($text as $line)
{
   $output[] = preg_replace('/^\d*\s*(.*)/e', 'str_replace("  ", "", trim("\\1")).".com"', $line);
}
$fh = fopen('newfile.txt', 'w') or die('fopen error');
fputs($fh, implode("\n", $output));
fclose($fh);

hi, thanks for the quick reply,

i've just tested it and it strips the numbers fine and places the .com at the end, however the spaces still exist

2394834598 one two three

one two three.com

but i need

onetwothree.com

thanks again

Glad it worked. I'm even kind of surprised I only had one typo. 🙂
