Find line containing multiple unique matching in text file ?

[Mad_T]

I have a text file with 10000's of lines in it.

On one of those lines will be device=varment & 1="0989
How do I search the entire file and only find and return this one line ??

Thanks 🙂

Does this have to be done in PHP, because it is a breeze over the command line:

cat file.txt | grep -n "device=varment & 1=\"0989"

Or run that via shell_exec() within your PHP script. 🙂

I'd prefer to do it in php and then return the line so I can manipulate it !!
Thanks

thus my shell_exec() suggestion

Then do as NogDog suggested and run it with shell_exec(). Just be careful if any input in that command comes from the user (i.e. a form, URL parameter, etc).
