extracting multiple fields from a text file using php
- by Dave
Hi,
what is the best way of extracting multiple (~40 values) from a text file using php?
the data is more or less like:
NAMEA valuea
NAMEB valueb
I'm looking for a proper* approach to extracting this data into a data-structure, because i will need to specify regexs for all of them (all 40).
did i make myself clear?
*meaning, the default/painful method would be for me to do:
$namea = extractfunction("regexa", $textfilevalue);
$nameb = extractfunction("regeb", $textfilevalue);
... 40 times!
