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, 2); $grab = eregi($GrabStart(.*)$GrabEnd, $rf, $printing); $printing[1] = str_replace(replacedatestamp, withnewstamp, $printing[1]); fclose($file); echo $printing[1]; ? - Original Message - From: Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Ben Quinn [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2001 10:57 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] Web fetching script What response are you expecting, and what response are you getting? assuming your regex is working as expected, you are running it twice to receive the same result into 2 different variables??? why not just copy the variable after additionally, $printing is filled with the matches of your regex(10 of them according to manual) as such you have to specify which element of $printing you are wanting to print, or you will get the lovely array output I don't understand why the grab variables are there unless you need them later.

RE: [PHP] Web fetching script
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.

Re: [PHP] Web fetching script
G'day David, Niklas As usual i'm in way over my head so i'm going to be a real pain and ask for more help Niklas, unfortunately the start and stop points change constantly, i'm hoping to get around this by using the substr() function - luckily the format (in tables) stays the same My main objective is for the file to be read once only, by the time i'm finished i'll probably be grabbing 20-30 different areas of text/numbers from a file, and i'm paying for anything over 1gig downloaded from my account each month, so it could end up quite expensive.
