![]() I have asked many questions on this topic and I apologize to anybody who this sounds repetative to. What i am trying to do is pull info from a flat text file. I am just wondering the capabilities of this. The php book i have does not explain this. Im looking to pull info or layout elements from it, to make less coding. anybody got any ideas? |

![]() Could you be a little more specific about the info in the text file, and what you want to do with it. |

![]() I wind up having to parse things a lot that came out of a mainframe, and turn them into non-crap. Those COBOL jocks have a difficult time with anything but text, and that's difficult enough for them. They don't have regular expressions, in-place editing, fancy quoting operators, or the other niceties that Perl gives programmers. |
