Text File

Anon

Hi,

I have a text file (tab delimited) with some email addresses in it amongst other things.

I need to select just the email addresses, which is the third tab.

I have tried numerous functions, explode, substr etc and I can read the entire text file. But, reading just the third tab eludes me.
Can someone show me some example code.

Thanks

i think <TAB> isn't a good kind of separation. it works for me with the | as separator that way:

<?
    $fp = fopen("file.csv", "r");
    while (!feof($fp)) {
        $data = fgetcsv($fp, 1024, "|");
        list($row1, $row2, $row3) = $data;
        echo "email: $row3";
    }
?>

Thanks for that.

I agree, but the text file in question is being created by a program I have limited control.

This code works fine for $row1 but it will not see the next row. It needs to recognise tab or maybe space delimters.

Any other ideas??

it works for me. use instead of | the \t (tabulator)

$data = fgetcsv($fp, 1024, "\t");

Fonsi,

Thanks for the help - I decided to use data from a different file in the end - works a treat now

This works for me, with tabs.

$readfile = file("file.cvs");

// Create a loop that will read all elements of the array and print out
// each field of the tab-delimited text file

for ($k=0; $k<=count($readfile)-1; $k++) {
$fields = split("\t",$readfile[$k]);
print("$fields[0]<br>");
print("$fields[1]<br>");
print("$fields[2]<br>");
}
