You could do this if your $GrabStart and $GrabStop are ALLWAYS the same
(Like:
###START###
10pm
Blah
###STOP###
###START###
12pm
Blahblah
###STOP###
)
$file = file("url.txt");
$str = join("\n", $file); // You can use whatever to join the rows
$GrabStart = "###START###";
$GrabEnd = "###STOP###";
then use preg_match_all() to match everything between $GrabStart and
$GrabStop.
Hopefully this helped you out.

Subject: Re: [PHP] Web fetching script
G'day Guys
Sorry, i should have explained it better. What i want to do is grab 2
different lots of text from the same page. Say the page had this text
10am
Some text
12pm
Different text
2pm
I want to be able to grab from say 10am to 12pm and store it in $texta and
then grab from 12pm to 2pm and store it in $textb - but with the script i've
pasted below i can only grab one lot of text at a time! to grab 2 lots of
text from the same page i have to have 2 scripts and in the end i've opened
up and closed the page twice! Anyway, any help i can get will be much
appreciated
This is the script i'm using
<?
$GrabURL = "url.txt";
$GrabStart = "start";
$GrabEnd = "stop";
$file = fopen("$GrabURL", "r");
$rf = fread($file, 20000);
$grab = eregi("$GrabStart(.*)$GrabEnd", $rf, $printing);
$printing[1] = str_replace("replacedatestamp", "withnewstamp",
$printing[1]);
fclose($file);
echo $printing[1];
?>
