As you read each line into a variable, $chrText, apply this test: ereg("Visibility: ([0-9]*.*)", $chrText,$regs);
EXAMPLE: <?php $chrText = "Visibility: 30 mile(s):0"; ereg("Visibility: ([0-9]*.*)", $chrText,$regs); print "#".$regs[0]."#".$regs[1]."#\n"; $regs= NULL; $chrText = "Wind: from the NE (050 degrees) at 9 MPH (8 KT):0"; ereg("Visibility: ([0-9]*.*)", $chrText,$regs); print "#".$regs[0]."#".$regs[1]."#\n"; ?> You will find what you need in $regs[1] -----Original Message----- From: Gerard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 8:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Parse from a Text file Hi all, I'm newbiee into php and I need some help.
